The main objective was to evaluate the infrastructure and the specific forms of youth travel in New Zealand, followed by a product creation for the youth sector. In order to reach the main objective, the methods of analysis and comparative method were used; specifically the analysis of accommodation, transport, activities and comparison of findings in theoretical part of the thesis and practical part of the thesis. Furthermore, a potential for a development of specific forms of youth travel in New Zealand was analysed.

The reflection on this theme is essential because, nowadays, many parents, educators and pastoral agents are taken aback by the difficulty in establishing an evangelizing dialog with adolescents and young people and in understanding their world, habits, values and needs. Besides, the work done with the youth is the basis to the development of the society and of the institutions, including the church. Making use of the method See-Judge-Act and counting on the support of the varied bibliography, One starts from the anthropological and psychosocial aspects of the youth, realizing the conceptual analysis of the main terms that are utilized in its discrimination and analyzing its presence in the complex dynamics of work of the megalopolis. There are many realities of youth in the city, which need specific answers and request new pastoral strategies, differed and concomitant. Counting on the contribution of the theological reflection, based on the Scriptures, on the Teaching of the Church and on the indications done by the main current pastoral documents and plans, in this Dissertation the work done in the current context is evaluated and many proposals of actions to an effective evangelizing action of the youth in the city of Sao Paulo are presented / A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo refletir a evangelização da juventude da cidade de São Paulo, apresentando as principais questões que envolvem sua realidade na megalópole paulistana e os desafios para um abrangente trabalho pastoral na sociedade hodierna. A reflexão deste tema é essencial pois, na atualidade, muitos pais, educadores e agentes de pastoral estão perplexos com a dificuldade em estabelecer um diálogo evangelizador com os adolescentes e jovens e entender seu mundo, costumes, valores e necessidades. Além disso, o trabalho com a juventude é a base para o desenvolvimento da sociedade e das instituições, incluindo a Igreja. Utilizando-se do método Ver-Julgar-Agir e contando com o apoio de variada bibliografia, parte-se dos aspectos antropológicos e psicossociais da juventude, realizando a análise conceitual dos principais termos utilizados em sua discriminação e analisando sua presença na complexa dinâmica de funcionamento da megalópole paulistana. Constata-se a existência de várias realidades de juventude na cidade, que necessitam de respostas específicas e requerem novas estratégias pastorais, diferenciadas e concomitantes. Contando com a contribuição da reflexão teológica, embasada na Sagrada Escritura, no Magistério da Igreja e nas indicações feitas pelos principais documentos e planos de pastoral da atualidade, nesta Dissertação avalia-se o trabalho realizado no atual contexto e apresentam-se diversas propostas de ações para uma eficaz ação evangelizadora da juventude na cidade de São Paulo

Il presente lavoro nasce dall’interesse ad approfondire il tema della formazione e in particolare della sua valutazione e della sua efficacia. La prima parte consiste nell’esplorazione della letteratura: il primo capitolo si focalizza sulla valutazione considerando sia la valutazione nelle scienze sociali, sia la valutazione della formazione (es. evoluzione, questioni centrali); il secondo è dedicato all’approfondimento della training effectiveness (strettamente connessa, ma distinta della training evaluation) e nel terzo capitolo vengono presentati diversi aspetti del corso di formazione (es. approccio, caratteristiche, dispositivi di formazione e valutazione, evoluzione) oggetto dello studio di caso: un percorso formativo complesso che coinvolge la trasformazione di aspetti dell’identità professionale, rivolto ad allenatori di calcio di settore giovanile. Nella seconda parte vengono presentati i tre studi empirici. Il primo è finalizzato ad esplorare, da diversi punti di vista, gli esiti della formazione (focalizzandosi in particolare sull’evoluzione delle rappresentazioni) e quali elementi della proposta formativa sono stati di sostegno alla generazione di tali esiti. Nel secondo studio viene presentata l’esplorazione qualitativa finalizzata ad approfondire, da diverse prospettive, se e come il gruppo di formazione (proposto come principale strumento di formazione) possa essere un elemento a sostegno dell’efficacia formativa. Infine il terzo studio ha l’obiettivo di rileggere la training effectiveness attraverso la fase valutativa di follow-up, indagando in particolare tre oggetti: le traiettorie di cambiamento dei soggetti, il contributo del dispositivo valutativo e la spendibilità dello strumento semi-proiettivo DSSVP. Il capitolo conclusivo è dedicato alla lettura trasversale degli studi, alle riflessioni conclusive sul contributo del lavoro al costrutto di training effectiveness e ai rilanci per l’azione. / This work was born from the interest to deepen the training issue and particularly its evaluation and its effectiveness. The first part consists of the literature analysis: the first chapter is focused on the evaluation considering both the evaluation in the social sciences and the training evaluation (e.g. evolution, crucial issues); the second is aimed to deepen the training effectiveness (strictly connected, but different from the training evaluation) and the third chapter is dedicated to different aspects of the course (e.g. approach, characteristics, training and evaluation methods) that is object of the case-study: a complex educational program involving the change in professional identity aspects, aimed to youth sector’s soccer coaches. The second part consists of three qualitative studies. The first is aimed to explore, from different points of view, the training outcomes (the focus is particularly on the representations’ change) and which aspects of the educational proposal have been a support to reach these outcomes. The second study presents the qualitative research aimed to investigate, from different perspectives, if and how the training-group (proposed as privileged tool) can contribute to the training effectiveness. The last study is aimed to explore the training effectiveness through the follow-up evaluation phase investigating specifically three objects: the change trajectories of subjects who have attended the formative path and the contribute both of the evaluation method and system and of the semi-projective tool DSSVP. The last chapter is dedicated to the conclusive remarks (both about the three studied considered together and about the contribute of the research to the training effectiveness construct) and to further development.
