Youth Work and Youth Workers across Europe

Good examples from practice about volunteering, employment, education and training.

EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES FOR YOUTH WORKERS 

Collection book

The Collection book is part of the implementation of the project “YOUTH WORK and YOUTH WORKERS across EUROPE – good examples from practice about volunteering, employment, education and training” (2019-1-BG01-KA205-061890. It is a direct result of long, active and participatory process which was started to support the access to quality information and additional educational and training opportunities for youth work and youth workers.
It assembles good practices from all the participating countries on the overall development of youth workers. Practices are divided into two main sections:

1. GOOD PRACTICES in YOUTH WORK DEVELOPMENT
2. IDEAS AND GOOD PRACTICES FOR YOUTH INITIATIVES AND PROJECTS

Practices are arranged according to their level of implementation: local, regional, national and international. They concern at least one of the following topics: advocacy initiatives (how do we make youth work visible and important to society), youth workers’ education and training (formal and non-formal training, curriculum and recognition), youth workers’ employment (volunteering vs payment).
The project team and partners decided to bring all this knowledge and experience together to better the quality of the information flow and the access to different educational opportunities, and to ensure that there is collection of good practices which will promote the quality, innovation and recognition of youth work across Europe.
