Intersectionality is about stories, narratives and bringing people together Ali Campbell And now it's time to continue conversations over the break #YWCollab

Next up is interactive discussion about developing inclusive working practices for faith and secular groups And what is faith-based youth work occlusion..? Are we creating spaces for people to express their views, share stories, energies & learn? #YWCollab

Inspirational thoughts but also a sobering account from Here For Youth - we need to improve resilience and respond to negative mass media narratives to develop effective youth engagement #YWCollab

Great insights from Andy Turner Are we missing flourishing youth work? Open youth work is core -not fringe. And how do we foster more solidarity and resilience, and work together with young people to bring about change? #YWCollab

Our next panel is about developing effective youth work partnership across difference

Powerful and engaging stories. Understanding how faith influences our work & our work influences our faith. Partnerships work when everyone can be themselves. Churches as spaces holding meaning for communities Joy Faulkner-Mpeho

Helping young people to understand their beliefs and identity by talking to each other to overcome differences and negative stereotypes. Living well with difference The Feast

Well, I’m blown away. As I head home thinking about the stories, the need for collaboration, and whether we need to re-cast a vision for youth work that is more expansive and prophetic! #YWCollab
