23 countries
5000 young people
In K12 education, 2022:
237 Partnership Activities

8. 8
578 students from Asia, Latin America and Europe responded. Key findings:
The intensive 3-day youth camp
activity stands out. Students expressed
increased positive feelings about the
future in most of their stories. They also
gained knowledge about career path
options, as well as having clearer ideas
about the type of work they would like
to do.
Activity types aimed at both personal
growth and employability generally
yield both personal and professional
outcomes. Students especially express
an increased positive feeling about the
future and reported increased their
knowledge about career path options.
Activities where volunteers share their
experience contribute to achieving both
personal and professional outcomes.This is
shown by student stories about personal
details shared by the volunteer or facts
about their company, while others are eager
getting a job at the volunteer’s company in
the future.
Partnership activities focussed on very
specific personal development topics are
successful when developing self
knowledge skills. For eg. personal
communication skills contributed to
personal outcomes such as an increased
knowledge of strengths and weaknesses.
