| During
the project,
CEE and DEA
have made the
following recommendations: |
| |
|
|
| That
the
Department for
Education and
Skills should: |
| |
|
|
| |
• |
advocate
that the views
and needs of
young people
are taken into
account and
valued by other
government departments,
in line with
the approach
to 'joined up
Government'
|
| |
• |
recognise
the distinctive
contribution
youth work makes
to sustainable
development
for individuals
and communities |
| |
• |
strengthen
the use of the
standards fund
and its grant
schemes to embed
more consistent
approaches to
sustainable
development. |
| |
|
|
| That Youth
and Community Work
training agencies
should: |
| |
|
|
| |
• |
integrate
sustainable
development
as an essential
component of
initial training
for youth and
community workers,
not only as
optional modules. |
| |
|
|
| That
Youth Services
and Connexions
should: |
| |
|
|
| |
• |
encourage
an awareness
of the importance
of individual
and collective
rights, and
responsibility
for ensuring
the world is
a better place |
| |
• |
acknowledge
that learning
about sustainability
takes place
both formally
and informally |
| |
• |
recognise
that young people
experiencing
social exclusion
may lack access
to and use of
resources, whilst
others may be
over-consuming
resources. |
