Report

Project description

The project focuses on improving Youth Social Service Time (MDT). For this purpose, we collect targeted feedback and insights from the young people themselves, via Expertpools. MDT offers young people the opportunity to engage socially, develop their talents and build new social contacts. By collecting participants' experiences, we want to gain insight into how the program contributes to their personal and professional growth.

Through the Expert Pools in different municipalities, young people are given a platform to share their experiences and suggestions directly with the research team. This helps us understand what works well within MDT and where there is still room for improvement. The insights from these conversations are used to further develop and adapt the MDT program to the needs of the participants.

 

Results & insights

The ultimate goal is to strengthen young people's social participation and support their integration and future plans. By working with young people in these Expert Pools, the project ensures that their voices are heard and that the MDT has a positive impact on their lives and their role in society.

As soon as the first results are known, they will be published.
