Projects Mapping mobility – pathways, institutions and structural effects of youth mobility in Europe (MOVE) – Horizon 2020 Duration:
May 2015 - April 2018
Coordination:
University of Luxembourg
Partners:
ERYICA, Universitat Hildesheim (DE), Deutsches Jugendinstitut, Academia (DE), De Studii Economice Din Bucuresti (RO), University of Miskolc (HU), Hogskulen i Sogn og Fjordane (NO), Ilustre Colegio Nacional de Doctores y Licenciados en Ciencias Politicas y Sociologia (ES), European Research and Project Office (DE).
The aim of the MOVE project is to provide a research-informed contribution towards an improvement of the conditions of the mobility of young people in Europe and a reduction of the negative impacts of mobility through the identification of good practice, thus fostering sustainable development and well-being. The main research question was: How can the mobility of young people be ‘good’ both for socio-economic development and for individual development of young people, and what are the factors that foster/hinder such beneficial mobility? Six types of mobility were addressed in this research: higher education, voluntary work, employment, vocational training, pupil’s exchange and entrepreneurship.
In February 2017, ERYICA organised an Open Dialogue day on youth mobility and youth transitions, inviting stakeholders working at European level to discuss the results of the MOVE project so far. A second workshop was organised in Stockholm in November 2017, to disseminate the research results in areas of Europe where the research was not carried out. Participants from Sweden, Finland, Norway, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia attended this event. The event was combined with the first meeting of the ERYICA Nordic-Baltic Working Group.
