- Mapping youth participation Björn Andersson och Susanne Liljeholm Hansson SESSION 16: Spaces and styles of participation Mapping youth participation This abstract relates to a joint open session Spaces and Styles of Participationtogether with Walther, Nyman-Kurkiala and Schwanenfluegel. One important empirical task for the PARTISPACE project is to map how young people engage in participatory activities in the eight cities that take part in the study. To know what we are looking for we have to have some kind of definition of what youth participation means. The general starting point is that participation should be understood as a lived and situated practice. As a more concrete guide for the collection of data we distinguish between formal, non-formal and informal forms of participation. The formal level is about elections, membership in political parties and taking part in youth parliaments or councils. These are activities that often are labelled participation . The non-formal setting is about associations and youth organizations, often supported by various youth work efforts. Finally, the informal level is about all kinds of youth activities, often not considered as participatory, but which nonetheless contain elements that affect young peoples relation to society. Methods that will be used for gathering data are interviews, observations, case studies, group discussions and reconstructing participation biographies. There will also be action research projects carried out by young people themselves. During the seminar we will present the work done in Gothenburg this far. We will discuss and reflect upon the theoretical and methodological approaches used in the study. Does the mapping work or do we miss important aspect of young people s participation due to deficiencies in the design of the study?

Non-formal spaces of socio-cultural accompaniment: Responding to young unaccompanied refugees – reflections from the Partispace project
- 2018
-
In: European Educational Research Journal. - : SAGE Publications. - 1474-9041. ; 17:2, s. 305-322
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Drawing on research in progress in the Partispace project we make a case for the recognition of the importance of non-formal spaces in response to young refugees across three different national contexts: Frankfurt in Germany; Gothenburg in Sweden; and Manchester in the UK. It is argued that recognition of local regulation and national controls of immigration which support climates of hostility makes it important to recognise and affirm the significance of non-formal spaces and ‘small spaces close to home’ which are often developed in the ‘third space’ of civil society and arise from the impulses driven by the solidarity of volunteers. In these contexts it is important that practices of hospitality can develop which symbolically reconstitute refugees as hosts and subjects of a democratic conversation, without which there is no possible administrative solution to the refugee crisis. It is essential that educational spaces such as schools, colleges and universities forge strong bonds with such emergent spaces.
