Youth Work, Music Production and Measurement

Beschreibung

This book focuses on how youth work and music is measured and valued. The collection explores the landscape of youth work and music, music production and young people s identities, and the opportunities and constraints within the measurement of these kinds of programmes. In addition, it analyses the impact of music-making on young people s wellbeing, the criminalisation of minoritized groups of young people and subcultures, and the evaluation of informal education and creative education. Amid ubiquitous music-making and sharing by young people globally, these essays provide a practical resource with particular relevance for educators and cultural policymakers.
