Outline of Final Research Achievements

Through this research project, we have shared the recognition that the deprived condition of youth is the most serious problem. However, as collaborative case-studies have shown, we can find that many young people are empowered. As a whole, the policies and practices based on “uni-dimensional operative model” might deprive them of power. In contrast, we find that “multi-dimensional generative model” could empower the deprived youth. And the latter model is regarded as interactive transformation among actors in most cases. “Multi-dimensional generative model” is regarded as the essence of empowerment practices, and so suggests the direction of educational reform in the future.
