creation of opportunities for participants to become involved in international projects

gesellschaftliche Partizipation

The in-country option across action types is also considered a valuable asset of the new programme by most respondents for they see in-country projects as an important tool to address local issues on the one hand, and because they are convinced that these activities will be a great opportunity for those young people who have not yet had the chance/possibility or courage to participate in international projects. After gaining valuable experience in an in-country project, the stakeholders believe that these youngsters might gain the necessary skills and self-confidence to then also take part in international projects. This can be seen also from the quantitative data analysis: 26% of the project grant applications were for Solidarity Projects, thus in-country projects; furthermore, 44% of the survey respondents having applied for Volunteering, Volunteering Partnerships and Traineeships and Jobs reported that their project included in-country activities (partly in combination with cross-border activities).

Evaluierung der Aktivität

For the purposes of this research, a mixed-methods approach was chosen for it integrates both, qualitative as well as quantitative methods allowing for a rather panoramic view of the research landscape and thus enabling the researcher to view certain phenomena from various perspectives and angles. [...] In order to facilitate this study, mainly three research vehicles were exploited: online surveys, online interviews and secondary analysis of existing data. Additionally, a mapping of European Solidarity Corps at European level together with a detailed list was produced. While the surveys allowed the researchers to explore important research themes by addressing a larger pool of respondents, the interviews facilitated an in-depth analysis of the themes and issues that have arisen out of the survey responses.
