facilitation of self-discovery for participants with fewer opportunities

persönliche Entwicklung / Erwerb von sozialen und personalen Kompetenzen

An international project is also a discovery of oneself. It shows yourself how you behave in new situations and with new people. This element of self-discovery is stronger for young people with fewer opportunities than for young people with most opportunities (+2,5%).

Evaluierung der Aktivität

This article is based on an inclusion analysis of the data provided by the RAY Network (Research-based Analysis of Youth in Action) with partners in 20 European countries (status 2014). The respective research instruments were developed by the University of Innsbruck, Austria, in cooperation with the RAY partners. The data of the RAY research project indicates that the Youth in Action programme (now Erasmus+ Youth) is a good tool to reach its ‘equity and inclusion’ aims. To be sure that only truly underprivileged participants are included in the ‘fewer opportunities’-sample, just having one disadvantage or obstacle was not enough. A respondent had to have at least three exclusion indicators to be in the ‘fewer opportunities’ subgroup (2,823 fit in this group).
After participating in the project, I have noted… … that I am more self-confident; ... that I learned more about myself; ... that I can better empathise with others; ... that I can now better express my thoughts and feelings; ... that I am more self-reliant now; … that I can deal better with conflicts; ... that I can deal better with new situations; ... that honestly speaking, participation in the project did not have any particular effect on me.
