This deliverable describes the Beta Version of the Inclusive Toolbox for Citizen Social Science, developed by the CoAct research team at the University of Vienna. The Toolbox allows for young people to independently conduct a social science research project on the topic of education and employment. The Toolbox is developed in two formats – a digital version using the app “Actionbound” and a non-digital version in form of a card game. 

This report describes the theoretical and methodological foundations of the Toolbox, as well as its guiding principles. It outlines the development processes to date and presents the general concept of the Toolbox, including the digital and non-digital version. It also provides initial insights into the content and structure of the digital Toolbox. After the experiences from first trial rounds with young people are shared, the next steps for the upcoming months until the completion of the Toolbox are outlined.
