increased commitment to fight against exclusion and discrimination for participants with fewer opportunities

soziale Inklusion

Even though all the results are significantly higher for the underprivileged group, the most beneficial influence of an international youth project lies in the support for disadvantaged people and the fight against discrimination, intolerance and racism. It seems that the projects increase their commitment to fight the injustice that they are most likely exposed to themselves, more so than is the case with ‘well off’ participants. Could this be due to a greater identification with the victims of disadvantage, discrimination and intolerance?

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).
