[GOETE-Newsletter] GOETE Newsletter No. 6

[GOETE Coordination Team]

Dear readers,

We are glad to present you the sixth 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.

On March 21, the GOETE Consortium held an international conference
titled ‘Youth and Educational Disadvantage’ in Frankfurt, Germany.
During the meeting research results of the project were presented and
discussed. At the centre of attention was the dialogue between research,
practice and policy on the topic. One further topic of the newsletter is
the presentation of some findings from the different thematic reports
produced in GOETE. Also, in this issue of the newsletter some examples
of the views and voices of youth involved in the project are presented,
which offer a privileged entry point to the themes and issues of GOETE
research.


With best regards from the GOETE coordination team

During the last months of the project, all participating countries in
GOETE have been busy with various activities: first, thematic and
comparative analyses were conducted and publications for the
dissemination findings were prepared for both the scientific community
and for policy and practice circles concerned with children’s and young
people’s educational trajectories inside and outside school, at the
local, regional, national and European level. One important event in the
conclusion of the project was held in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, that
took place on March 21st, 2013

Who decides on education?

Education has increasingly become an issue of public debates and an
increasingly disputed societal value. The research project Governance of
Educational Trajectories in Europe therefore asked how educational
trajectories of children and young people evolve and how underlying
decisions are being made.
