Erasmus+ TC "Research Makes Perfect" Guidebook

Aims of the tool

Erasmus+ training course “Research Makes Perfect” (acronym RMP) took place in Kaunas, Lithuania on 18-26 May of 2018. This project aimed to enhance youth workers knowledge about different research methods, setting up and running research studies to boost their performance at work. We believe that basing work on facts and not on intuition brings positive impact on work results and helps to reach the objectives. This guidebook summarises all the things learned and may be used for project replication elsewhere.

Description of the tool

RMP’s guidebooks main goal is to make research more usable at organisational and youth worker level, and so allow for more focus on the areas/communities that really matter.

The training course described within will help to:
- teach the youth workers the essentials of data researching tools and methodologies;
- provide them with the necessary skills for researching and passing on that knowledge to others;
- create opportunities for the participants to practice the gained skills and knowledge while carrying out relevant research in the local area;
- promote the analysis-based approach to youth work across the participating countries.
