FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 2015 – SIXTH ANNUAL IDYW NATIONAL CONFERENCE in LEEDS

FRIDAY, MARCH 13 to SUNDAY, MARCH 15, 2015 – YOUTH&POLICY HISTORY OF YOUTH AND COMMUNITY CONFERENCE at HINSLEY HALL, LEEDS

Just to let you know that Tania de St Croix is delivering a keynote speech at the fifth History of Youth Work conference in Finland, entitled  ‘Building alliances, choosing allies: Taking sides in youth work, research and activism.’ Whilst Tania is not there as a representative of our campaign we suspect she will weave the story of IDYW into her narrative!

It’s late notice, but we believe there are still a few places left at the Y&P conference in Leeds and the Group Work event at the YMCA.

Tony Taylor is contributing a paper at the Wellbeing conference in Ambleside, which will place some question marks against its emergence as a tool for social policy and practice.

Please let us know if you have any events you’d like us to publicise.
