involvement of participants in personal transformation processes

persönliche Entwicklung / Erwerb von sozialen und personalen Kompetenzen

The third element relates to the aspirations of the Stoneleigh Group to ‘create agents of social change’. By and large the Stoneleigh Project did not achieve this outcome. The evidence suggests that the majority, all from the group that have been described as laterally mobile, did achieve a considerable element of personal transformation. Only a few of these, typified by Trevor, became involved in social transformation.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

Sonstige (nicht kategorisierbar)
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.
