Charting the Landscape of European Youth Voluntary Activities

This publication contains a collection of papers drawn from a seminar under the Partnership Programme on Youth Research, held in Budapest in July 2004. The papers explore a range of issues relating to the participation of young people in voluntary work throughout Europe, including the barriers to participation, evaluation and research aspects, whether social inclusion objectives are achieved through volunteering, and policy directions for the future.

  • Publisher: Springer

This book promotes a radical alternative impact on youth policy in Europe to overcome the situation of vulnerability and discrimination of a growing number of youngsters in their transition from school to work. It follows a Human Development perspective in using the Capability Approach (CA) as analytical and methodological guiding tool to improve the social conditions of the most socially vulnerable young people in European societies. The mission of the interdisciplinary authors is to expand the actual chances of the young to actively shape their lives in a way they have reason to choose and value. This book is based on the research of the EU Collaborative Project “Making Capabilities Work” (WorkAble), funded by the EU within the Seventh Framework Programme. It is the first empirical project to pursue a justice theory perspective on a European level. It also contributes to a fundamental change in the currently mostly insufficient attempts within the human capital approach to use the labour market to ensure desired lifestyle forms and a secure income for vulnerable youth.

European Voluntary Service for Young People

The Community action programme «European Voluntary Service for Young People» (EVS), established in 1998, became part of the Community action programme «Youth» in April 2000. The EVS is open to young people aged 18 to 25 who have their legal residence in an EC member state, Norway or Iceland. The aim is to enable them to spend some time abroad, be it long-term (6 to 12 months) or short-term (3 weeks to 3 months), working in a non-profit project of a humanitarian, cultural, ecological or social kind. The publication comprises selected contributions to an international conference which took place in Bremen in April 1999. It was organised by the Centre of European Law and Politics at the University of Bremen in cooperation with the German office «Youth for Europe» and with the support of the European Commission.

Kant’s Theory of Value

Kant’s Theory of Value

In explicit form, Kant does not speak that much about values or goods. The reason for this is obvious: the concepts of ‘values’ and ‘goods’ are part of the eudaimonistic tradition, and he famously criticizes eudaimonism for its flawed ‘material’ approach to ethics. But he uses, on several occasions, the traditional teleological language of goods and values. Especially in the Groundwork and the Critique of Practical Reason, Kant develops crucial points on this conceptual basis. Furthermore, he implicitly discusses issues of conditional and unconditional values, subjective and objective values, aesthetic or economic values etc. In recent Kant scholarship, there has been a controversy on the question how moral and nonmoral values are related in Kant’s account of human dignity. This leads to the more fundamental problem if Kant should be seen as a prescriptvist (antirealist) or as subscribing to a more objective rational agency account of goods. This issue and several further questions are addressed in this volume.

Bilder sind wie Texte von ihrem kulturellen Umfeld beeinflusst. Ihren Code zu entschlusseln und sie zugleich von der Vormundschaft der Textinterpretation zu befreien, haben sich die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes zur Aufgabe gemacht. Sie gehen der Frage nach, welche Rolle Bildern zur Rekonstruktion der Frauengeschichte in der Antike zukommt. Die Antworten reichen von grundsatzlichen Interpretationen antiker Bilder aus einem gender-orientierten Blickwinkel bis zu der Auseinandersetzung mit spezielleren Themen wie der Inszenierung der Nacktheit oder der Frau als Herrscherin, Mutter oder Priesterin."Images and Gender" ist eine einzigartige bahnbrechende Sammlung neuester Genderforschung zum Thema Ikonographie Agyptens, Palastinas und Israels sowie der griechischen und romischen Antike.
