Benchmarking

This market research study, Benchmarking: Comparative Analysis of Youth Houses, seeks to identify best practices and characteristics in Bogotá to be considered by the Minuto De Dios University Corporation in the potential establishment of its own youth house. Its implementation aims to enrich the student profile by addressing the strengthening of inclusive spaces oriented towards service and spirituality that foster the integral development of young people within an academic environment. After mentioning its theoretical contextualization and addressing specific terminology related to the analysis situation, such as Humanism, Youth Pastoral and Missionality characteristic of higher education institutions, a mixed approach was methodologically employed, combining interviews and focus groups with administrators and students from youth houses. The results reveal a globally positive perception, highlighting dynamic participation and high-impact activities. The conclusions emphasize that youth houses are valuable initiatives promoting personal growth, spirituality and service, enriching educational experiences.
