The <strong>in</strong>formati<strong>on</strong> available about the participants <strong>in</strong> the four selected municipalities is rather<br />

scarce. For the three larger municipalities (Narva, Pärnu, Tartu) we know the total number of<br />

participants, while <strong>in</strong> Kuusalu there is no <strong>in</strong>formati<strong>on</strong> at all about participants. At the same<br />

time it is important to c<strong>on</strong>sider that the “total” number of participants <strong>in</strong> Narva, Pärnu and<br />

Tartu actually means the total number of participants <strong>in</strong> hobby schools and hobby centres. In<br />

all these municipalities, the number of young people participat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> some other k<strong>in</strong>d of<br />

activities (open youth work, youth counsell<strong>in</strong>g, youth recreati<strong>on</strong> etc.) is not available and<br />

therefore not <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> the so-called total number of participants.<br />

Differences between nati<strong>on</strong>al and local level:<br />

As at nati<strong>on</strong>al level, it was not possible to track all youth work providers at local level. We<br />

therfor have no basis for comment<strong>in</strong>g the additi<strong>on</strong>al data.<br />

10.3 Germany<br />

In Germany the municipalities selected and surveyed were:<br />

� Lübeck, a city situated <strong>in</strong> the north of Germany, with 70,000 <strong>in</strong>habitants;<br />

� Jork, a municipality located <strong>in</strong> the adm<strong>in</strong>istrative district of Stade, with 12,000<br />

<strong>in</strong>habitants;<br />

� L<strong>in</strong>gen, a municipality with nearly 56,000 <strong>in</strong>habitants <strong>in</strong> the north-west of Germany<br />

and a centre for the petrochemical <strong>in</strong>dustry <strong>in</strong> Germany; and<br />

� Ilm-Kreis, a rural district with 112,000 <strong>in</strong>habitants.<br />

Although all municipalities have to participate <strong>in</strong> the annual nati<strong>on</strong>al youth services statistics,<br />

it was strik<strong>in</strong>g that data was not accessible easily. The nati<strong>on</strong>al statistics are collected by<br />

means of questi<strong>on</strong>naires <strong>in</strong> paper form. These questi<strong>on</strong>naires are delivered to the statistic<br />
