Another scientific article by Celina Czech-Włodarczyk and Magdalena Cuprjak, based on analyses of research material collected for the project, was published in the journal Kultura-Edukacja-Społeczeństwo. The article presents the results of research on the presence of European Union values in the documents of youth organizations operating in Poland, including AIESEC Polska, ATD Czwarty Świat, the Horyzonty Youth Initiative Center, the UNESCO Initiative Center, the All-Polish Youth, and the National Radical Camp. The researchers employed a qualitative strategy and a secondary source search method. Atlas.Ti software was used for coding, and all available documents posted on the websites of the studied organizations were analyzed, including their statutes, regulations, reports and activity reports, and Facebook posts. The researchers conducted a content analysis of these documents within the category of “values/ideas” and the subcategories of standards, problematization, and activity goals. As part of their analysis, they compared the values contained in the organization’s documents with those enshrined in Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union, which lists the following values: pluralism, tolerance, justice, solidarity, non-discrimination, and equality. The researchers’ analysis revealed that the values guaranteed by all European Union member states also underpin the activities of youth organizations operating in Poland.
