Yesterday I stumbled upon tweets on the #y&cstudents2012 hash-tag that seemed to show youth work courses across the country collaborating online for youth work week. I've not found if there was an online centre to the event -but you can see some of the videos participants created here: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9mbedQws27V1ATYMrKUl4A?feature=watch See More

Profile Information
- Blog or website (if you've got a blog or website put the address in here)
- http://www.timdavies.org.uk
- Brief bio: tell us a few facts about you & your interest in digital aspects of work with young people
- I'm an independent researcher / consultation / participation practitioner who has found himself working a lot around young people and technology.
A typical working week (not that such things exist) might find me writing a guide on using social media tools for youth engagement, training youth workers in making the most of social networks, running an online course for activists in campaigning with internet video and researching something completely non-internet connected on youth policy or participation practice.
A typical week outside of work might find me spending a lot of time in the kitchen cooking, trying to get out for a good long walk somewhere or staring out of train windows at canals..

Jon Jolly said… - Hi Tim,
Thanks for the comment. As a church we've used Facebook, MySpace and Bebo to a limited extent and have groups and such set-up, but have yet to really utilise these networks as actual tools for furthering our work. That's why I'm really interested in the discussion you've got going here.

Jeremy Day said… - I've had the odd exchange with other Web Editors in similar positions over the years, but I don't know if anyone's actually built up a group or anything. There's an active community around the e-democracy stuff, with newsletters, conferences etc. but it's a bit off topic for me. If you're interested in seeing any of that stuff, then http://dowire.org/ 's a likely place to start

John Holmes said… - Hi Time,
The extended explanation of my research is on the research site: http://www.york.ac.uk/depts/spsw/holmes/about.html
Research site is a bit of an overstatement at the moment since everything's a bit dormant. I came across you and then the network whilst looking at the Youth Agency work you've done. I was wondering if you had any plans for survey research with young people to complement the study?

Using Creative Assessment Tools for Practitioners at Attlee Youth & Community Centre, London E1
April 11, 2013 from 9:30am to 4:30pm
BackgroundOne of the challenges of assessment processes with young people is how to secure their involvement and active participation. Only too often assessment can become something that is ‘done’ to young people (or a form that needs to be filled in), rather than a dynamic process that puts them at the centre, something theyare involved with and have some ownership over. The assessment tools called ‘CAF Cards’ and ‘Road Sign Cards’ have been developed with young people to work with the…See More
