Abstract

Young people do something for someone else and/or society: They have done this through the video and/or by directly doing something for someone else. That is different for every group. Young people develop skills and work on their personal development: Each participant has described his/her learning goals for the program in advance and has worked on these individually and/or in groups during the program. The supervisor supervised this. All participants have achieved their goals and/or now know how to continue working on them. People from young to old and with different backgrounds meet each other (if possible): Meeting in a direct sense was difficult with the measures. For that reason, videos have often been made for a specific target group. Young people met new people within the groups. A number of groups have done something directly for a different target group and met new people. Social needs surrounding the coronavirus are being addressed: How young people experienced the corona crisis was very variable, one person was very bored and had a feeling of loneliness, but there are also many young people who have a lot of stress due to working differently, which often costs them more time. Still, it was a nice distraction for both target groups during this time. Young people could forget everything for a while and focus on their hobby/passion with others. They all really liked that. In addition, a number of videos also focus on activities that can be done within the measures. This can inspire others to undertake outdoor activities together, which can always be done within all measures. Young people have become enthusiastic and many also want to participate in the long MDT process. MDT has also become more known among schools and associations.
