The research group Youth, Education and Society contributes to healthy ageing and youth participation in the Northern Netherlands. We do this by engaging in practice-based and innovative research projects in four research lines.
With these research lines, we want to answer questions such as:
- How do youth care workers in the social education domain work in practice and what can they do to stimulate the development of all children?
- Can we improve or renew this effectively and meaningfully?
- How do new partnerships such as integral child centres, neighbourhood teams and partnerships for appropriate education work?
- How can we use interprofessional cooperation to stimulate the growth opportunities of all children and young people?
Who are we?
The research group Youth, Education and Society is a network organisation. It consists of four research lines: Diversity in Learning and Behaviour, Language Functioning & Healthy Ageing, Youth & Living Environment and Comprehensive Approach to Child Abuse. We work closely with the research groups Arts Education and Sport Sciences. Together we contribute to the theme Equal Opportunities & Participation in the field of Healthy Ageing.

Youth & Living Environment
Handling child povertyBased on this research line, we want to contribute to an inclusive society. We do this by strengthening the pedagogical living environment of growing children and young people so that they have every opportunity to grow up healthily. The cooperation between professionals and parents and a neighbourhood-oriented approach are our main focus.
