Mapping youth studies curricula: what is formal education in the field of youth studies saying about young people?

IN ENGLISH: This chapter focuses solely on formal education with the objective to offer an overview of the landscape in terms of youth studies education. It is important to emphasize that the focus of this chapter is on youth studies rather than merely youth work programmes. In this chapter, youth studies are seen as a broader concept than youth work education, which includes different aspects such as youth research, youth policy, and finally - youth work. The main research objective of this research was to map the content of various youth studies programmes, by examining topics they cover and understand their position in relation to youth workers’ education. The analysis includes 100 programmes in total (65 BA and 35 MA programmes) from 16 EU countries. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Poglavlje je fokusirano na iskljucivo formalno obrazovanje s ciljem pregleda dostupnih mogucnosti u pogledu sadržaja vezanih uz mlade. Važno je naglasiti kako je fokus poglavlja na obrazovnim programima u cijem su sredistu mlade, a ne iskljucivo programa usmjerenih na rad s mladima. U tom pogledu, obrazovni programi u cijem su sredistu mladi se smatraju obuhvatnijim te ukljucuju razlicite aspekte poput istraživanja mladih, politika za mlade te rad s mladima. Glavni istraživacki cilj je mapiranje sadržaja razlicitih programa usmjerenih na mlade kroz analizu tema kojima se bave te razumijevanje njihove pozicije u odnosu na obrazovanje osoba koje rade s mladima. Analiza ukljucuje 100 programa (65 preddiplomskih i 35 diplomskih) iz 16 država Europske unije.
