Abstract

The data set was generated within the research project Constructing AcTive CitizensHip with European Youth: Policies, Practices, Challenges and Solutions (CATCH-EyoU) funded by European Union, Horizon 2020 Programme - Grant Agreement No 649538. The data set is a partial version of the final data set and it includes the data emerged from the analysis of a subset of questions posed to a sample of 17 stakeholders (policy makers, spokespersons of youth organizations and public officials) during the interviews conducted in Italy by the University of Bologna (UNIBO) within the WP3 research activity which aims at collecting data from public written policy documents addressing youth policy at EU, national, regional and local level and generates data from interviews to key policy makers in order to characterize contemporary European Union policy discourses and investigate to what extent European Youth policies have been implemented in various member states during a three year period (2012 – 2014).
