greater emphasis on individual approaches in English youth work

Beziehungsaufbau und Interaktiosfähigkeiten

Another tension which was apparent, to some extent in the findings and confirmed by observations of youth work practice across the different contexts, was the degree to which youth work focused on individuals or collectives (such as peer groups and the wider community). Accepting the previous caveats, the impression gained from the project was that there are some substantive differences. English youth work appeared more inclined to focus on individuals than some of the other countries, most notably France, where youth work3 was more inclined to focus on the collective. This contrast is most noticeable when comparing the MJC (Maison de Jeune et de la Culture), a traditional French youth club, with the English youth clubs in this study. Ostensibly they are very similar, but a comment made by a French youth worker during the evaluation of the methodology was illuminating. He observed that the research project had given him a unique opportunity to engage in individual conversations, which is not something he would not normally be encouraged to do; in contrast, this is something that is actively encouraged in the English context.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

Each youth work project then implemented three cycles of transformative evaluation over a period of one year, between July 2015 and July 2016. The identification of youth workers and stakeholders was left to the discretion of individual projects. [...] In each cycle each youth worker aimed to generate twenty significant change stories using the following prompt question: ‘Looking back, what do you think has been the most significant change that occurred for you, you and your peers, or you and your community, as a result of coming here?’ [...] Recording stories can be done in two ways. First, handwritten notes can be taken during the conversation; however, it is essential that any notes are read back to the young person to check that they accurately reflect the essence of their story. The story is more valid when recorded in the young person’s own words. Alternatively, the young person can write their story directly. Where possible, a story should be written as a simple narrative describing the sequence of events that took place and their significance to the young person. In terms of story length, generally the young people’s stories tend be a paragraph (three or four sentences) but some may be much longer and some shorter. They should not be o short that vital information is left out.
