Recognition resources
In this section, you will find publications, web resources and events all connected directly or indirectly to the recognition of youth work. The list is not seen as being complete and it is acknowledged that the reader will see some as not relevant and would like to see others included. It is intended that this resources page should be updated regularly. The section paints a large picture of the recognition work that has and is being conducted across Europe.
Each resource is hyperlinked through its title and comes with a short summary. It is recommended that you use the tags to search for a particular theme or topic rather than scrolling through the long list of documents.

Summary link to Recognition:
This study indirectly supports the process of recognition, it is part of a research initiative mapping educational and career paths of youth workers and at the same time gathering knowledge on youth work. Its main objective is to contribute to a better understanding and sharing of information about the education and training of youth workers across Europe and what employment / career paths this prepares them for, as well as the implications for the quality of youth work. This process contributes to building a stronger youth work identity and therefore its recognition.
