Do come and join!

A great day - see for yourself!
The first (of many, I hope!) UKYouthOnline unconference was an unmitigated success today. Big thanks to Tim for organising it, and to Steph and the other DIUS folk for being such great hosts.
I really enjoyed the Social Media Surgery, being able to give a bit of help and guidance to people who have the enthusiasm to get started with this stuff was a real joy. The impromptu social media game was slightly more stressful but I hope it was enjoyable for everyone!… Continue

Thanks for that; your youthworktoolbox website looks useful, particularly the podcasts.

Tony Brown replied to Mildred Talabi's discussion Email marketing - how do you do yours?"Hi Mildred.

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
