LEVEL UP! Learning in youthwork: deeper understanding,better quality, more recognition!

Level Up! – Research outcomes

• Perception of youth work

• Not immediately seen as a place for learning

• Learning takes place but not on a conscious level (youth worker)

• Young people are not aware that they learn, expect no recognitionfrom outside

• Motivation of young people

• Doubts about the motivation of young people to learn in youth work

• Youth workers found ways to involve young people and to give themanother, new perspective on learning

• Young people took quite positive look on their learning experiencesin the projects

• Rethinking the role of the youth worker

Youthpass – Time to show off!!!
