enhanced social inclusion by participating in youth work
soziale Inklusion
This code contained distinct and tangible outcomes related to specific changes the young people had made in their lives as a result of youth work. These included finding employment and returning to school, as well as being able to act more autonomously. This theme also included features which might be loosely referred to as young people’s socialisation or meeting socially accepted standards of behaviour, such as England’s final code ‘reducing risky behaviours’ and Estonia’s ‘development of pro-social behaviour’. Each of the five countries had final codes which were placed under this theme. It ws very difficult to find a title for this group of final codes. None of the coordinators particularly liked the title ‘social inclusion’, but it was felt that this was the ‘least unpalatable’. The title was chosen as an umbrella term for the variety of changes young people had made in their lives which were linked in some way to wider society or society’s expectations. It was noted that many of the final codes under this theme come under the auspices of European policy objectives which aim to ‘reduce the social exclusion of young people, addressing the interlinkages between e.g. young people’s education and employment and their social inclusion’ (European Council, 2009 311/ 8).

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.
