First Phase of TUNE Training: Building Skills in Data Collection and Research
The TUNE Network successfully completed the first phase of its 2025 online training series, titled “Data Collection and Questionnaire Design.” Held in June and led by Dr.Yvonne Kosma, the session brought together 31 youth workers from across Europe to strengthen their skills in designing research, research tools and methodologies and collection of data.
Participants gave overwhelmingly positive feedback, with over 90% rating the training highly. Key takeaways included improved understanding of qualitative vs. quantitative methods, stronger questionnaire design skills, and a deeper grasp of ethical considerations in research.
This training sets the foundation for the network's "youth research" and prepares the members for Phase 2, which will focus on how to analyse and use the collected data, exploit and disseminate the results to diverse audiences to influence policy and advocacy.
