Hyvinvoiva pohjoiskarjalainen nuori (The Well-Being of the North Karelian Youth-project) examines the well-being, experiences and collects development proposals of services of young people aged 13-28.
Information is gathered for the municipalities of the province, the wellbeing services county SiunSote and the North Karelia Regional Council. The experiences of young people will be collected with an electronic survey between 14 August and 15 September 2023.
The survey is completely anonymous and no personal data or school-specific information is collected from the respondents. The handling of the material is also completely confidential. The data from the survey will be compiled in a report to be published at the end of 2023. Individual respondents cannot be identified from the report. The survey will be conducted throughout the province.
Well-being young people in North Karelia
The aim of the project is to produce information and development proposals directly from young people about their own needs, experiences and wishes for well-being services in North Karelia. This information will be used after the project in the planning, implementation and communication of services.
The project gather information on the whole region. The opinions and experiences of young people will be mapped by an electronic survey from all municipalities (13 municipalities) in co-operation with schools and other partners. Information from youth will be gather regionally also by using and testing various workshops and participatory methods.
This project aims to gather the experiences of young people from a wide range of target groups, including those young people who are outside education or are not already ‘active’. Youth are recruited through organisations, hobbies and targeted youth work.
As a result of the survey, new local and regional youth-driven data will be available and reported in two phases. The collected information is available to partner organisations and municipalities in the development of services and in future project preparation. Findings and phenomena from young people are actively brought to the common discussions.
