Recognition stories from the community of practice
The following stories showcase what is happening in the youth sector regarding the recognition of youth work.
We have asked different people from across the community of practice to share something of what they are doing what and how, and to acknowledge the impact of what it is they are doing. It is hoped that these stories will act as an inspiration, first to acknowledge our own contributions to recognition and secondly to become more active in our youth work recognition work. The stories are told in a mix of text, images and video.
