HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS FACTSHEET:
YouthREX’s Visioning Transformative Youth Work: Collaborative Design Day on September 6th, 2023, brought together youth sector stakeholders to explore the joys, challenges, and tensions of youth work. The goals were to connect youth workers in an inclusive and supportive environment to imagine the possibilities for solving pressing challenges in the youth sector, and to listen to and learn with one another. Through storytelling and design thinking principles, participants worked together to craft a vision for creative and viable forms of transformative youth work practices.
The special guest for the day was Dr. Tania de St Croix, renowned critical youth studies and youth work scholar, author, former youth worker, and professor at King’s College London.
This Factsheet summarizes five key takeaways from Tania’s keynote presentation, including illustrative quotes from her research with youth and youth workers.
