[GOETE-Newsletter] GOETE Newsletter 2-2012

[GOETE Coordination Team]

Dear reader,

We are glad to present you the fifth newsletter of the GOETE research
project. GOETE aims at analysing how educational trajectories of young
people are regulated as a result of complex interactions in different
European education systems. The study “Governance of educational
trajectories in Europe” (GOETE) investigates how access of children and
young people to different stages of education is enabled or restricted,
how coping with educational demands is being facilitated through formal
and informal support and how it is being negotiated between different
actors what kind of education actually is relevant for society at large
as well as subjectively for the learners.

This GOETE newsletter brings an update on the progress in our research.
In the first contribution, we present some first findings from the
individual survey with 15- and 16-year-olds with a particular focus on
their life course trajectories. Also, an interview with Andreas Walther
discusses youth research in Europe.

With best regards from the GOETE coordination team
