Education and VTraining Systems - General overview:

Reports concerning the Education and VTraining Systems adopted in partnership countries

Survey on national/local Norms, Strategies and case studies:

National reports collecting information on partnership countries

COMPARATIVE TRANSNATIONAL REPORT:

The Comparative Transnational Report focuses on 3 main aspects: 1. National/Local Norms related to the theme of preventing and opposing the phenomena linked to education and training abandon. The selection of norms has been pursued (IT, ES, LV, UK RO, PL, GR, DE ), taking into account the most exemplary ones, since the research was aimed at identifying examples and models useful to specify how the phenomena have been punctually and successfully approached within the national normative system. 2. National/local programmes and intervention schemes, in order to provide data and information on policies and strategies differently concerned with the fight against school abandon in the countries involved in the partnership. 3. National/local Case Studies, providing models potentially transferable and/or reproducible. The report has been articulated in two Sections available in download with related Annexes. The Section 1 - National Reports on education and training systems and dropout phenomenon, provides the general frame of the Education and Training Systems adopted in the different partnership countries and introduces some data and information related to the school abandon phenomenon. The Section 2 - Information on Norms, National Strategies and Case Studies, highlights a few measures and strategies adopted by the different national systems, providing some relevant case studies related to the application of them.

FIELD ANALYSIS REPORT:

This Report presents – in original version - the full transcriptions (in national and English version) of the interviews realised in all countries, with Young and Operators, that have been audio-video recorded and edited (not in the full version) on the project Video Reportage (DVD). The information collected have been useful to integrate the collection of case studies exemplifying communication-relation methodologies and practices; to integrate and deepen the analysis and identification of good practices (communication-relation processes) - collected in the project Compendium - adopted by the operators to re-involve and re-integrate young dropouts within education, training and employment pathways; to integrate the Glossaries and wordlists, describing the young dropout’ s communication styles. The report has been articulated into two main sections available in download.

COMPENDIUM OF GOOD PRACTICES:

The first edition of the Compendium (2005) was born since it appeared indisputable that the communicative effectiveness (the one towards young, but also the one among the different levels and competences of territorial subjects and professionals) should have to be re-thought starting from professionalism, deontology and exchange. The surveys outcomes showed that something new was already on the way: we were confronted with the offer of a new professionalism that should have been able to capture the young people, not only dropouts, in terms of care. It meant, at least for us, that any consideration on communication, as a result, could not escape the consideration of the rebuilding of a renewed professional frame. What we have done since 2007 with Once Against project, was to take up that lesson and to make the work done progress, in terms of quality and completeness. Referring to the first edition, we have maintained the structure: the around 108 main voices collected as good practices are presented in alphabetical order and for each one has been provided a short comment or description. What you will find more is a new reading-key that we propose, having added for this second edition not only new practices but also specific references to themes and aspects that we wanted to connect each other or to explain in details.

GLOSSARY AND WORD LISTS II EDITION:

This publication shows the outcomes of the surveys realised within two different pilot projects sessions co-financed by Leonardo da Vinci Programme between the 2003 and the 2009, involving subjects representing 8 national countries in total (PL, DE, RO, GR, ES, IT, LV, UK). The background aim was collecting and analysing the communication verbal behaviours of Young dropouts, in order to provide information and material useful to study a few emotional, cultural and social aspects underlined by their linguistic codes and habits. The glossary is organised as the previous one published in 2005: for each word or expressions are provided the original term in national language; the translation and definition of the term in English and, if the case, a simulation of its use. Within the second project session (2007-2009) the partnership has pushed the work a little further: in studying the new national glossaries realised (PL, RO, GR, DE) and in comparing them with the previous ones (UK, IT, ES, LV), it has been traced a map of 11 themes within which cluster all words and expressions collected. The reason why is that in reading and analysing again the material, the project partners have found many interesting “equivalences”: the young expressions collected show that – whatever language or slang used – Young refer to specific and transversal themes associated to their cultural, psychological, behavioural and emotional world.

MODEL FOR QUALI-QUANTITATIVE TERRITORIAL ANALYSIS:

These Guidelines for Operators are aimed at providing information and methodological tools functional to realise the quali-quantitative analysis of the territory within which Operators work. Actually, given the specificity of the service offered to young that have left the compulsory education and training pathways and are at risk of social, economic and occupational exclusion, an important aspect to provide guidance and counselling support to them, is the exhaustive knowledge of the features of the local area of reference. In fact, it is relevant not only to guarantee the qualitative level of the information provided to the potential target, but also to activate cooperative networks among all Actors that, at different levels, play a role in the local reintegration system. The Guidelines are articulated in two main Sections, each one sub-disaggregated in different Chapters. The first Section is devoted to a presentation of the variable and indicators useful to realise the quantitative and descriptive analysis of the territorial area of reference, so as to create a general framework of its social, economic and cultural aspects and to identify the structures and the services available. The second Section present a Model for the carrying out of qualitative analysis on the services identified on the local area. The Model of quali-quantitative analysis represents, on the whole, a working tool immediately adoptable. Thence, in the Annexes are available documents and format of grids and questionnaires directly useable by operators interested.
