THINKING SERIOUSLY ABOUT YOUTH WORK

It is never too late to think seriously about youth work in Europe. The two European Youth Work Conventions in Belgium (Ghent 2010, Brussels 2015) introduced specific dynamics in this sector: while the first event focused on the diversity of youth work, the second explored existing common ground. Both Declarations mirror the reflections from these two conventions. In the pres- ent publication, which addresses the varied topics discussed, we want to deepen discussions on youth work in Europe and its relationship to other policy fields.
