improvement of social mobility for participants
soziale Inklusion
The second element considered is the direction of the social mobility of the young participant. It is suggested that there were four distinct pathways in this context. For the few participants that were recruited with strong social networks, the participants reported maintaining and using these networks to achieve an upward mobility from their marginalised situation to an established educational or work-based pathway.

Evaluierung der Aktivität
Following the Stoneleigh Project from its first pilot in 2000 through to the recent advocacy work conducted in 2006 after the Stoneleigh Project ended, the study author claims that two pedagogic processes were at work. The first concerned the young people and the support they received in constructing their identities in the transition from youth to adult. The second concerned the evaluation and advocacy work of the partners. Both involved experiential and social processes that led to the construction of meaning and attempts to encourage a discourse with the everyday world with the intention of bringing about change. Methodologically, the research study was a hermeneutic inquiry focussed on education and power. For this research an ethnographic approach was adopted to the Stoneleigh Group. This allowed the study author's participation in the Stoneleigh Project in order to collect the evidence. It also provided a framework that allowed for a wide range of techniques in collecting data.
