The Power of Pathways was an empowerment and long-term impact evaluation project created as a concept idea by the trainers and participants of the previous two Pathways programmes. There was anecdotal evidence that both programmes had a big impact on participants personal and professional development and created long lasting international connections, maintained long after the programmes had ended. As the projects had finished we wanted to explore how we could understand the long-term impact in a more concrete way. This led to a call with former participants to discuss this need, out of which came a small group who wrote their first application with the aim of revisiting experiences and fully assessing the long-term impact and outcomes on participants. This development process was supported and coached by two of the facilitators from the previous editions. Pathways to Youth Work and Pathways to Youth Leadership were two international projects exploring youth leadership and effective habits for youth work. The first project had three mobilities in the Netherlands with 30 participants from the UK and NL and the second had two mobilities, one in Italy and the other in Serbia with 24 participants from 12 countries. With a call to the previous groups of participants a small application team was established and began to work on the application of this project through consultation with partners and past participants. It was noted early on that there was evidence that the ability of measuring long-term impact of youth work and non-formal training was not always present in such initiatives. Organisations are urged to predefine programme outcomes and adopt standardised tools to measure changes in young people’s behaviour and attitudes between the beginning and end of an intervention. Such outcomes-oriented approaches have been widely supported by national youth sector organisations (Bracey 2016; Lent 2016). However, there has been contestation by practitioners at the grassroots level, vocalised most clearly by the campaign group In Defence of Youth Work, where it is argued that quantifiable impact mechanisms are inconsistent with youth-centred and informal education approaches (Taylor 2017). [Youth work, performativity and the new youth impact agenda: getting paid for numbers? Tania de St Croix] Over recent years the impact of international youth work on participants, organisations, regions and nationally has become more and more important, yet there is still no real opportunity to measure the long term impact as projects end and reporting is restricted to the here and now. An additional need identified was promoting ways of improving ways of documenting and disseminating the tools, methods, outcomes and impact of projects and our work. All the above can be an important factor in creating both local and international projects of high quality and can be utilised across other youth groups and projects. AIM: The main aim of this project was to assess and measure the long-term impact the Pathways projects had on past participants, while at the same time revisit and explore which elements have supported most the personal and professional development of the participants. We wanted to support past participants of Pathways to realise their own international and national youth work projects through reflecting on the learning and impact from previous projects and building and supporting their youth work competence development for the future and how best they can share these with others. We wanted participants to realise their full potential as emerging youth workers and develop a greater understanding of the power of international youth experiences and the impact it can have. OBJECTIVES: To reflect on the learning, impact and outcomes of the past Pathways experiences and better understand the importance of evaluation. To confirm the long term impacts of Pathways and effects of Erasmus+ training programs in general. To develop a greater understanding of how to share and disseminate the results of International Youth Work activities. To revisit the methods and activities of past Pathways projects such as, youth leadership, habits for youth work, and identify their importance. To better understand the intercultural differences and similarities of youth work practice, values and realities.
