On the 18th and 19th of June 2025, our colleagues Juliet Tschank and Leonie Dworsky from the Center for Social Innovation (ZSI) attended the Profeedback COST Action CA20112 conference “Shaping the Future: Evaluating Programs and Policies in Public Education and Youth Policy”, organized by HÉTFA Group Research Institute in Budapest, Hungary.
They shared their professional experiences on education policy and presented initial findings and learnings of the RAISE-UP Project to the research community.
It was a successful and inspiring event. One quote which particularly stood out to Juliet and Leonie was: “We are not preparing young students for one future, but we should prepare them for multiple futures” (Quote by Andreas SCHLEICHER, Director for Education and Skills at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development OECD). This is very timely and fitting to the RAISE-UP project which has been working on securing the employment futures of young people. Considering the current labour market changes and the fact that the trend shows that young people do not choose only one job or career in their lifetime – it is really vital that they are given appropriate tools to adapt accordingly.
