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:
At the time of the writing of this study, the authors reflected that youth work had greater recognition and visibility that it had in the past but that there was still much to be done to fully recognise the contribution and value it has in the lives of young people. The study brings together the evidence of what it is that youth work does and achieves in order to facilitate an understanding and appreciation of youth work. It explores the publications, reports and researches available at that time, it analyses the mapping of national contexts, consults with various stakeholders and examines successful practice.
