Project description

NewBees organizes a supplementary program for young people who are required to integrate; the Social Service Time (MDT). OpenEmbassy is evaluating the approach of this program through expert pools. In 7 cities we will talk to young people to collect experiences with the MDT program from NewBees. We are also investigating how to increase the involvement of young people in the evaluation of such programs.

Results & insights

For the first cities, NewBees in Arnhem, Zaandam and Hoorn, the reports have now been completed. They have become clear and straightforward reports with concrete recommendations. NewBees is positively surprised and will share the report with all MDT cities.

"Really a very good, concise report that we can really do something with; super clear recommendations. This research alone is worth this collaboration."
