Young People in a Global Society
This briefing and discussion paper presents the case
for why global issues are integral to the design and delivery of
youth work in the UK. It has been published jointly by the DEA,
NYA, Youth Link Scotland, Cyngor Ieuenctid Cymru (Wales Youth Agency),
and the Youth Council for Northern Ireland with support from DFID,
CYEC, DfES Connexions Unit and NCVYS.
It emphasises the links between global issues and current social
agendas and outlines the action maintained youth services, voluntary
youth work organisations and youth work training providers can take
to develop and embed global dimensions in their work.
It also includes brief examples of global youth work practice, and
sources of information, training, resources and support.
It will be of interest to all those working in informal education
with young people, but is primarily aimed at decision makers within
national voluntary youth organisations, senior youth and community
education officers within local authorities, curriculum development
officers within youth work organisations and youth and community
work training agencies and providers.
We hope that the report will act as a catalyst for wider debate
in the youth work field.
