Abstract
This study was implemented as part of the project "Research-based Analysis and Monitoring of the Youth in Action Programme" (RAY) which aims to explore the effects of the Youth in Action Programme (YiA) of the European Union, in particular on young people, youth workers and youth leaders involved in the projects funded by it, but also on the organisations, groups and other bodies promoting it and on the local environments and communities where these projects take place. The RAY project aims to study these effects in general, not only with respect to the explicit intentions of the YiA Programme, therefore seeking to contribute to the generation of new knowledge about the processes and outcomes of non-formal education activities, in particular in the youth field. At the same time, the RAY project aims to contribute to quality assurance and development in the implementation of the YiA Programme and to evidence-based and research-informed youth policy development.
