This evening we’re going ‘back’ to our youthwork past, and asking questions of ourselves, approx 20 years ago..or whenever we started out..
Heres 4 of the questions for this evening:
1. Whats been the biggest change in youth and community work – since you started out?
2. Whats got stronger in the last 20 years in youth and community work?
3. What would you say to your (20 years) younger youthwork self?
4. What has been your most valuable piece of learning in the last 20 years?
