empowerment of participants through validation and increased sense of achievement

persönliche Entwicklung / Erwerb von sozialen und personalen Kompetenzen

Reflecting on this, participants expressed a strong sense of achievement in their accomplishments. Many of the young people we spoke to had been nominated for awards for their work and volunteering, and the majority of them felt respected and that their contribution was acknowledged by family, friends and their local community: “Me and my mates still feel attached to that place, and everyone knows the youth forum did loads of good work here.”; Joshua; “I got nominated for this award and I was like really, really chuffed… and then I got it, I actually won, I couldn’t believe it.”; Harry

Evaluierung der Aktivität

Qualitative Interviewbefragungen (persönlich)
Interviews were semi-structured, each following a similar line of questioning whilst allowing for individual perspectives and events to be discussed (Mason 1996, Kvale 2007). Each interview lasted approximately one hour, was recorded, transcribed and analysed in order to explore the content of the interview (Oliver, Serovich, and Mason 2005). [...] Sampling of the interviewees was purposive - members of staff from the VSO acted as gatekeepers and contacted a range of former youth participants who had been involved in one of these youth participation focused projects and sought consent for their contact details and names to be passed over to the researchers. [...] Pseudonyms have been used where participants have been quoted, as outlined at the end of this section.
