Youth & Policy Women’s Conference - Thinking Afresh: feminism and youth work

Published on

The Thinking Seriously conferences offer participants an opportunity to discuss new directions in working with young people. The intention is to provoke serious, reflective and analytical thought, benefiting from analysis and research as well as practice experience across a range of settings and localities. The events are deliberately designed to be small scale to encourage critical discussion and developmental conversation amongst participants.
