- Title
Measuring outcomes in youth work in Northern Ireland.
- Authors

- Abstract
One aspect of the 'peace dividend' in Northern Ireland has been the increase in financial support from the European Union through Peace I and II funded programmes (now Peace III ) which has given out millions of pounds to many youth projects. The implication of this 'additional' funding has led to recipients having to offer 'tangible' outcomes. Indeed the outcomes have led to many voluntary youth groups changing direction as they 'chase' the finance to survive and benefit from this short-term funding approach. This article plots some of the chronological decisions that have shaped youth work in Northern Ireland and asks the question, is youth work being ideologically shaped by external policies in the pursuit of learning outcomes?
