As we discuss both  defending and extending a democratic and emancipatory youth work,  UK Youth are organising a one day conference, Girls’ Work: Threat or New Dawn to be held on Tuesday, September 8 at Hinsley Hall, Leeds.

Youth work with young women has a long history, but an uncertain future. Due to targets, current funding mechanisms and a focus on troublesome male youth. This one day conference of presentations, workshops, and groupwork will seek to draw lessons from past and present practice. It will consider how we can find ways in which girls work can develop and expand in the future.
