facilitation of non-formal and informal learning

persönliche Entwicklung / Erwerb von sozialen und personalen Kompetenzen

The responses indicate that in YiA projects the participants develop skills related to key competences through a combination of non-formal, informal and rather formal education/learning methods and settings. The participants indicate that they developed a specific skill in a combination of, on average, three different situations or activities. Non-formal education methods and activities which were part of the programme play the most dominant role, followed by informal experiences with people in and around the project, confirming the relevance of informal situations and settings for learning and competence development in general.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

In 2012, a special study was developed aiming to explore the learning processes of actors involved in YiA projects. For this study, a "special survey" using multilingual online questionnaires was developed and implemented in 2012. Furthermore, qualitative research methods - interviews with project leaders and focus groups with project participants - were being implemented during the first half of 2013. The present report represents an interim transnationa analysis of the special surveys conducted within the framework of the RAY project in May 2012 by National Agencies and their research partners in 13 countries.
