3.1. Introduction

This document presents the analysis of partners' interviews. The intent is to include the practices implemented in the partner organisations within a more general theoretical framework, which was identified during the MOVE projectand which is considered to be the basis of the MOVE Beyond project. With the interviews, we have gathered points of view, experiences, and expectations of each organisation which is part of the project,and we have addressed threeissues: their main goals, theircharacteristics, and location. We first analyse how the partnersdeal with the target population, how they contact young people and what programmes they prepare for them. In fact, we are interested in knowing the processes implemented and the emerging good practices. From the point of view of the organisation, we have deepened the main strength of each of themand the challenges they desire to work on during the MOVE Beyond project. We have explored the type of professionals involved, in order to work with the target population, but also the activities put in place withthe aim of reinforcing the professionals'knowledge and abilities. We are interested in the detection of professional experiences that could be useful to share among European partners. Concerning the second topic of interest, we analyse the concept of guidance and how it is used in each organisation. We have investigated the abilities that should have a good mentor or tutor in order to involve youngsters with social exclusion issues. Based on that, we have askedthe respondents to identify the basic conditions that allow the mentors or tutors to carry on their work in the best possible way. We have also started a reflection on the specific characteristics those conditions should have. Finally, the third topic analysed is connected with the location, which emerged as a very important element for the successful overcoming of difficulties. For this reason, we have investigated in which places partners carry out the activities with young people at disadvantage,and we have askedthem the main characteristics that thetraining location should have. We also discuss the possibility that the location could influence the achievement of the goalsset, gathering experiences onthe locations used to work with the target population. Finally, we reflect on the impact oftheCOVID-19pandemic on the way we need to rethink places (physical and virtual) that could welcome the target population. The analysis of qualitative data was carried out with MAXQDA software through a four-step phase characterised by basic coding (first general coding that allows emerging new dimensions and categories); fine coding (development of data-driven subcategories); hierarchization and merging of overlapping codes or categories; analysis after completing coding (visual tools, maps).
