Youth Work Essentials
The MOOC on Youth Work Essentials, a self-directed online course developed by the Youth Partnership is open! After the successful first two edition of the course, we are welcoming learners from all over the world again with an updated course content. Follow us on social media and join the course!
With this MOOC we aim to:
- Make youth work known to a wide audience and draw attention to its social value
- Provide an overview of youth work practices and policies across Europe
- Present current developments in this field, including at European level
By the end of this course, participants will:
- Become more familiar with the “basics” of youth work (concepts and definitions, forms, practices, approaches, objectives, actors at European and national levels)
- Gain an overview of how youth work is supported (through policies and strategies, youth work research, education of youth workers, funding, etc.)
- Get inspired by the diverse good practices existing in Europe on different aspects of youth work
- Reflect on the future of youth work in Europe and on how to engage in youth work developments.
