CATCH-EyoU: Ethnographic Qualitative study of Selected Cases (including participant observation and in-depth interviews)

The dataset includes 1) A cross national report of ethnographic case studies ; 2) 20 carefully redacted and typed A4 pages of ethnographic field-notes made during observations with organisations and individuals in the Youth Active Citizenship Field and 2) 6 carefully redacted and ethically permissioned English language transcripts of qualitative interviews with active citizens with youth citizenship organisations who are active in supporting, communicating and engaging young people’s active participation in causes as diverse and varied as the environment, anti-austerity protests, pro-European vote, Brexit, voting at 16, anti-fees and cuts campaigns, rights around civic spaces and youth centres, employment and jobs-related campaigns, issues around race and religion, volunteering, refugees, local housing and education. The names of organisations and personal data of participants or employees have been strictly redacted and anonymized in order to protect participants’ privacy and comply with ethical requirements. Instead generic descriptors such as ‘National Students Organisation’ or ‘Local Municipal Youth Volunteer Centre’ are used throughout.

The resulting Annex of 20 pages of field notes and 6 redacted interview transcripts in English constitute raw data which can be reused by researchers who want to compare our data with similar data collected in different countries, to perform textual analysis (content analysis and/or data mining) on our data. 

The resulting cross national report constitutes analyzed data which can be reused by researchers who want to compare our data with similar data collected in different countries, to perform textual analysis (content analysis and/or data mining) on our data.
