Experiences of Youth Beyond Education

In July 2020 a new branch of (Re)Search was established to investigate the experiences of young people who had not had access to higher/further education, or whose background made it difficult for them to attend University. The research was carried out in Latin America, where a team of three young researchers, guided and accompanied by the team at the Youth Section at the Goetheanum, led interviews with young people from different countries in Central and South America.

The foundations of this research branch were the same as in the wider (Re)Search project. The aim was to create spaces for young people to articulate themselves what it means to be young in these times. The team also observed the experiences of the researchers who carried out 30 interviews with young people from 18 to 35 years old for the first time in their lives. The results are documented in the publication (Re)Search: The Spiritual Striving of Youth - Shaping Our Realiy, which is scheduled for publication in 2023.
