Next steps for Youth Work Online...
Youth Work Online has been around for a few years now. The Network here now has over 900 members, many more visitors who haven't yet joined, and today we ran our fourth annual open space unConference event.

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
