As supporters will know we are in the midst of exploring a possible second book on the relationship between Youth Work, Story-Telling and Communicating the Contradictions of a Distinctive Practice. To keep you in the picture find below the latest notes provided by Bernard Davies, who is coordinating the Project. To give you a flavour here is an outline of possible sections of the book.

1. Book sections
   • Where appropriate/possible:
     • to include story-telling case material to illustrate process etc;
     • to top and/or tail sections with a youth work story/stories relevant to the section;
     • to clarify the relationship between, and/or the interweaving of, the actual story-telling and the interrogation;
   • Draft material to be finalised:
     • Story-telling as research
     • Workshop with young volunteers
     • Story-telling: Working with students in HE
     • Story-telling in a youth organisation
     • Story-telling with youth work participants
     • Youth work story-telling and its facilitation
     • First-time story-telling facilitation
   • Other areas (hopefully!) to be covered
     • A facilitator’s critical log/reflection of their facilitation.
     • Story-telling as a part of project evaluation
     • Story-telling as part of team development
     • Story-telling as part of organisational development
     • Story-telling within non-youth work settings
     • Using drama as/within story-telling
