As indicated earlier I’m withdrawing from my role as IDYW Coordinator and taking something of a back seat. One of my last acts will be offering a workshop and contributing as an ‘expert’ panellist [a debatable notion] at the Transformative Youth Work conference in Plymouth this week – see this post on my revived blog, Chatting Critically.
Two Years On and still trying to resist neoliberalism’s embrace
The IDYW Steering Group is meeting during the conference and we will publish details of new organisational arrangements next week.
Thanks to everyone for their support, comments and criticism.
The struggle for an open, process-led, improvised young people centred youth work continues!
And, as we say, in another eccentric part of my life – Best Foot Forward!

… a real shame but I understand – I have enjoyed your posts very much over the years
You an exception mind mate – thanks for all your hard work & patiece – particularly with the feckin contrarians who should have been consigned to the care home years ago…but I make no apologies 😋
