Meta-report on the Typology of Drivers and Model for Social Inclusion

Abstract

This deliverable is based on Work Package (WP) 3 in the EU YouCount project which includes a multiple case study of 10 cases in 9 countries across Europe and Task 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, and 3.5 in WP3 consisting of a case summary report from each case. It elaborates on the experiences of using citizens science as a tool for exploring young people’s perspectives on social inclusion. It has a particular focus on involving youths at risks for social exclusion and disadvantaged areas.
The conceptual approach to social inclusion is also outlined in D1.2 Report on the conceptual, innovative, evaluation and ethical framework for youth citizen social science from 2021. The methodological approach is outlined in D1.3 Methodological framework for data collection and analysis from 2022.
The vision of YouCount is twofold, addressing and combining both the scientific and societal needs of our time. The scientific vision of YouCount is to strengthen the transformative and participatory aspects of citizen science and social science, by enabling citizen participation in all facets, reaching out for a more egalitarian way of conducting science. The societal vision of YouCount is to contribute to create inclusive and innovative societies for European youths and to empower them in promoting active citizenship and a just and equitable future, particularly for youths with disadvantage
