The M.A. European Youth Studies Project is running a blended learning short course between January and March 2011. Applications can be made now and until 30 October 2010.

The M.A. European Youth Studies (M.A. EYS) Project was established in 2006 with support from the European Commission/Council of Europe Youth Partnership and currently benefits from funding under the Socrates-Erasmus chapter of the EU Lifelong Learning Programme as a curriculum development project. Youth researchers from the University of Luxembourg are strongly involved in developing the curriculum.

The M.A. EYS degree course aims to set the quality reference point and benchmark for improving and sustaining the development of European youth research as a specialist field of education and scholarship that is able and willing to inform more intelligent, knowledge-driven policymaking and can contribute to high quality, evidence-based practice in the youth sector.

The short course

The M.A. EYS project is running a blended learning short course between January and March 2011. The course offers 30 places and includes a five-day residential seminar in mid-February at the European Youth Centre Budapest. The short course uses exemplary curriculum content and methods of the future M.A. EYS degree programme and provides a unique experience in international academic learning. Moreover it probably represents one of the best ways to gain in-depth information on the future M.A. EYS course.
The short course is open to participants from throughout Europe and beyond with relevant qualifications and experience in youth research, youth policy and youth work or non-formal youth education and training.

Applications can be made now and until 30 October 2010. To find out more: http://www.youthstudies.eu/apply/
