enhanced ability to relate to others by participating in youth work
Beziehungsaufbau und Interaktiosfähigkeiten
A number of the initial and final codes allude both implicitly and explicitly to young people’s relationships with others. It is of note that of the seven final codes identified within this theme, there was at least one from each of the five countries. Three of the final codes (from Estonia, Finland and England) explicitly referred to friends and friendship groups. However, references were also made to other adults, youth workers and to members of the wider community. In a sense the French effectively summarise this as ‘creating bonds’ – but the process is the creation of both ‘bonding capital and bridging capital’ (Putman, 2000). That is, it strengthens existing commonality but also develops bridging capital, enabling us to ‘connect with others unlike ourselves’ (Putman, 2000: 411). This is explicitly summarised by the Italian final code ‘relating to others and valuing diversity’.

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.
