In October 2010 started the pilot project, Vi slår på trummor inte på varann! The project was conducted under Utveckling Barn & Unga, which is collaboration between the Musik i Syd and the city of Kristi- anstad, in order to strengthen the children ́s and adolescents culture in the region. Slättängsskolan in Kristianstad was chosen as a pilot school and all students in grades 6 and 7 have participated in the project. The project ended with two concerts, one at the school and one at the Kristianstad Concert Hall.This thesis presents a contextualized evaluation of the pilot project, Vi slår på trummor inte på varann! anchored in three contexts:• Theory• Politics• MethodologyThese theoretical approaches include theories that are relevant to the evaluation of the project, Vi slår på trummor inte på varann! The pedagogical theories are related to learning processes regarding Art Education. Curriculum goals and values are also the basis for the evaluation. Methodologically I have used the method triangulation, a combination of methods, to evaluate the project in order to get a ”toolbox” of theoretical approaches for my future work as a cultural producer for children and young people.The results of the evaluation indicate that the majority of the students experienced the project as something good and something that they want to continue. Most positive were the students in 6:th grade. The students who thought it felt good to play drums were also more positive about the project as a whole. The most favorable of the project, according to the students, was the concerts. Concerts and media attention have revised the image of the school. Through the project, the school thus had something positive to gather around, which was one of the goals of the project. Based on evaluation results, I finally examined if the project, Vi slår på trummor inte på varann! can be regarded as a sign of a shift of paradigm in the perception of culture for children and young people in Sweden today.

De senaste åren har det blivit allt vanligare att höra om barn och unga som begår, misstänks eller faller offer för kriminalitet. Det sociala arbetet står inför utmaningar i det förebyggande arbetet till följd av utvecklingen av barn och unga som befinner sig i riskzonen för kriminalitet. De senaste åren har det sociala och förebyggande arbetet i civilsamhället lyfts fram allt mer. Dock saknas kunskap om hur civilsamhällets roll i det förebyggande arbetet ser ut och vilka förutsättningarna är för att kunna förebygga kriminalitet bland barn och unga. Denna scoping review syftar till att undersöka hur delar av civilsamhället arbetar förebyggande med barn och unga som befinner sig i riskzonen för kriminalitet. Genom en litteraturgranskning fokuserar studien på att kartlägga delar av civilsamhällets förebyggande insatser samt hur dessa tar hänsyn till risk- och skyddsfaktorer för barn och unga i riskzonen. Resultatet visar att delar av civilsamhället erbjuder flera insatser som kan fungera förebyggande när rätt förutsättningar ges. Det visar även på att viss hänsyn tas till olika risk- och skyddsfaktorer i insatserna som erbjuds. / In recent years, it has become increasingly common to hear about children and young people who commit, are suspected of or fall victim to crime. Social work faces challenges in preventive work as a result of the development of youth at-risk for delinquency. In recent years, the social and preventive work in civil society has been highlighted more and more. However, there is a lack of knowledge about what the role of civil society in preventive work looks like and what the conditions are for being able to prevent crime among youth. This scoping review aims to investigate how parts of civil society work preventively with youth at-risk. Through a literature review, the study focuses on mapping parts of civil society's preventive efforts and how these take into account risk and protective factors for youth at-risk. The results show that parts of civil society offer several interventions that can function preventively when the right conditions are given. It also shows that some consideration is given to various risk and protection factors in the interventions offered.
