Purpose:

Which role do school, family and friends play for youth in Europe?
What are the hobbies, interests and issues they are engaged in?
How do educational careers of young people with and without immigration background proceed? What are their educational and occupational goals?
What can be done in order to improve educational chances of all young people? Show less..
