Summary link to Recognition:
The first edition of the European Academy on Youth Work (EAYW) was held in Slovenia in 2019. The idea behind the concept was to promote the development of quality youth work and to support innovation in youth work and youth work policy. It is intended that the EAYW should become a process and platform which can feed into different political frameworks for youth work development in Europe. Although recognition of youth work was not a specific aim of the EAYW, the final report makes many references to it. One participant stated that the EAYW can help youth workers to reach more “actors from Political and Educational field to get recognition and importance”. In the evaluation, participants noted that they saw the EAYW as a space for learning, networking and recognition.
