improved creativity for young people by means of practice of cultural activities
persönliche Entwicklung / Erwerb von sozialen und personalen Kompetenzen
The practice of cultural activities supports young people’s creativity, which is recognised as a key competence. This does not mean that all cultural activities engender creativity. There is clearly a part of reproduction and repetition in many learning processes linked to cultural expression. But ultimately the practice of cultural activities supports self-expression, intuition, imagination, and spontaneity. According to a study commissioned by DG Education and Culture and carried out by KEA, these are features of culture-based creativity that supports innovation in the economy.

Evaluierung der Aktivität
This report was developed between August 2012 and October 2013. During this period, the research team: • carried out a review of what is already known and what gaps exist in knowledge on the topic of youth work in the EU; • created a typology of different youth work activities across the EU; • mapped the national context of youth work in each Member State through an examination of definitions, legal frameworks, the situation of youth workers, the role and value of youth work and the impact (this was completed in January 2013 and thus reflects the situation as of then); • held a seminar with stakeholders to share knowledge and expertise and discuss the preliminary results of the study; • carried out case studies with youth work initiatives and activities exploring the stories behind their success.
