Title: Socio-educational programme of social participation through artistic mediation [Original title: Programa socioeducativo de participación social a través de la mediación artística]

• Summary:

The proposal of this final degree project comes from the stated aim of re-inhabiting public spaces through artistic mediation as a tool for collective and educational participation, while at the same time encourage people to generate a participatory context in which they can develop themselves.

Through participant observation and using the action of drifting, since it is believed that looking is already interpreting a certain reality and the fact of walking can give a more localised vision of where one starts from, an approach is made both to the population that lives there in this particular context and to the possibilities that its public spaces can offer for artistic and socio-educational intervention.

It is understood that knowing the neighbourhood is essential for the realisation of this project. For this reason, we have the collaboration of the Taleia Youth Centre where the Practicum II will be carried out during the 2022-2023 academic year, in addition to the participation of a group of young people between 12 and 16 years old to carry out the socio-educational programme of social participation through artistic mediation in the La Plata neighbourhood (Quatre Carreres district, Valencia).

Title: The educational intervention with young people in the youth plans of the Valencian Youth Network [Original title: La intervención educativa con jóvenes en los planes de juventud de la Xarxa Jove Valenciana]

Winner: Janis Piñana Fernández
Supervisor: Jaume Martínez Bonafé

• Summary:

This paper focuses on the critical analysis of the planning of public policies on youth implemented in recent years in the Xarxa Jove Valenciana (Valencian Youth Network). The Valencian Youth Institute's commitment to the municipalisation of youth policies has enabled the creation of a network of youth professionals in public institutions, with the aim of planning youth policies at the levels closest to young people, which is resulting in the development of a significant number of municipal and supralocal youth plans.

The study focuses on the analysis of the discourses of the Youth Plans with regard to those areas of intervention of an educational nature with young people, specifically in the planning of education in participation, education in values and educational leisure, in order to detect strengths and areas for improvement, and to make proposals to enhance the educational impact of non-formal education and leisure education interventions from the public youth services of the Valencian Country.

Summary: This study analyses the changes in the models of youth emancipation in Spain in the period 1990-2020, focusing on the de-standardisation of the process and the spread of its intermediate forms. Emancipation is conceived as the achievement of independence from the family of origin, through a complex and multidimensional process, determined by both subjective agency and social structure. For the empirical analysis, a multi-strategy approach is used: a comparative discourse analysis of Norwegian and Spanish youth discourses is combined with a triangulated set of statistical analyses of retrospective cross-disciplinary and longitudinal survey data. Although the core of the previous model is still present, analyses point towards a relative modification of the classic linear model, typical of emancipation in Mediterranean countries, and towards the spread of more flexible ways of becoming independent such as leaving home without economic independence, living in non-family forms, such as shared flats, or alone, or even alternating life with parents with life outside the home. These non-standard forms continue to manifest themselves, both in discourse and practice, as intermediate steps in the process as they have an expiry date, and are often associated with relationships of greater dependence on the home of origin - in financial, residential and care work terms - than family life. They are also associated with a double sociological profile. Both young people with high personal and family resources and those in more precarious situations are more likely to have complex emancipation trajectories, although the specific situations of each group are fundamentally different. This modified model of emancipation would be the consequence of the major changes that Spanish society has undergone, in two specific areas: the weakening of the housing model based on property ownership and the spread of new family values.
