Due to its principles of voluntariness and openness and because of its diverse offer of subject-related educational opportunities, open youth work has a high potential to support young people in their development and self-education. These learning and educational opportunities are holistic and comprehensive and often go far beyond the acquisition of skills and competences. How can these educational processes be described empirically and what form of education can be spoken of here at all? These questions are addressed by the qualitative-reconstructive study "Educational Experiences in Non-formal Settings", which is conducted at the Centre for Childhood and Youth Research (CCY) at the University of Luxembourg. The study examines the subjective educational experiences of young people in open youth work from various perspectives: on the basis of participant observations in youth centres, in problem-centred interviews and group discussions with young people, as well as via a complementary quantitative survey of young people.

Aims: The focus of the presentation is the specific situation of young people with disabilities during their transition period into adulthood. Methods: The presentation is based on 51 guideline-based qualitative interviews with adolescents and young adults with a disability. The study was conducted within the framework of the Luxembourg Youth Report 2015 (Willems, 2015). Results: The aspirations and ideas of young people with disabilities about being and becoming an adult are little different from those of their able-bodied peers. For them, too, being an adult primarily means financial, emotional and social independence and autonomy. Nevertheless, it is obvious that for them the transition to self-reliant, independent adult life is more difficult: only one in seven of those questioned had found their first job on the labour market and one in two were still living with their parents. Conclusion: Our conclusion is that for adolescents and young adults with a disability, the transition to adulthood presents a disproportionately tough challenge compared with their able-bodied peers. Sociological and psychological theories (Hurrelmann & Quenzel, 2012; Havighurst, 1972) consider the successful accomplishment of certain developmental tasks as a master challenge of youth. Young people with disabilities have to cope with the same developmental tasks as young people without disabilities. However, achieving them is much more difficult, not only because of their physical, mental or psychiatric impairment but also because of the lack of respect and the stigmatisation that they experience in daily life.

Der vorliegende Bericht stellt die Ergebnisse der Zwischenevaluation über die Durchführung und die Wirkung des Programms Erasmus+ in Luxemburg vor. Mit der Durchführung der Evaluation und der Berichterstellung wurde die Jugendforschung der Universität Luxemburg unter Leitung von Prof. Dr. Helmut Willems vom zuständigen Ministerium (Ministère de l'Éducation nationale, de l'Enfance et de la Jeunesse) beauftragt. Der vorliegende Evaluationsbericht ergänzt die im Auftrag der Europäischen Kommission parallel erfolgende externe Evaluierung und rückt die nationale luxemburgische Perspektive in den Fokus. Der Schwerpunkt der Evaluation liegt daher auf den Erfahrungen und Rückmeldungen der relevanten Akteure (Ministerium, Agenturen, Projektverantwortliche, Projektteilnehmer) bezüglich der Implementierung, Durchführung und Auswirkungen des Programms in Luxemburg. Deren Einschätzungen werden im Bericht dargestellt. [less ▲]
