Detached Youth Work

A complete honour to speak at Detached Youth Work conference #FDYWconf23 discussing youth violence, peacebuilding, youth work and community development. Thanks for the invite Graeme Tiffany it's been great!

Great conference, and its only day two! Great to be with like minded people reframing and rethinking young people and violence #FDYWconf23

I wonder sometimes how my mind works but this makes me think of Vincent Artison's speech to #FDYWconf23 Detached Youth Work 'What we are doing is not banal, it's important.' Acting in #solidarity with young people & facilitating their self-advocacy is the💓of all good #youthwork .

Wiseabap You would have liked my speech The Spectre of Iatrogenic Youth Work at #FDYWconf23 which considered the inferred values of youth policy narratives (overwhelming deficit-oriented).

Jon Yates Conservatives Youth Endowment Fund Thanks.
But, as discussed Detached Youth Work #FDYWconf23 , might saying 'We exist to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence' be reductive, individuate and separate them (and intervention targeted at them) from, once again, wider social and political activity?
