Theme: Engaging Young People in Nation Building: The Youth Worker’s Role
The Commonwealth Secretariat in partnership with the Republic of South Africa, the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) of South Africa and the University of South Africa (UNISA) is pleased to announce the Second Commonwealth Conference on Youth Work.
The Conference will address a range of issues critical to the enhancement of the profession, with papers from academics, practitioners and, importantly, young people, who are the receivers of youth work services. Plenary speakers will include leading figures in the youth work community.
The objectives of the conference are to:
- Accelerate recognition of youth work as a profession;
- identify and recognise young people who are involved in nation building;
- facilitate establishment of a Commonwealth Association for youth workers; and
- profile the work of youth workers as change agents.
