Dunja Potocnik 

This story touches upon all of the types of recognition to a certain extent but the main piece of research that Dunja Potocnik describes is linked to the recognition of youth worker education and qualifications (formal recognition) with the desire that it will influence policy making in the future (political recognition).

Dunja Potocnik is from Croatia and among other things is a researcher in the Youth Partnership's Pool of European Youth Researchers. While many of the stories explored here are about different aspects of youth work that have had an impact and promote recognition, Dunja’s story is about a piece of work that was designed to directly promote recognition.
