SUMMARY:Youth Workers at the Heart of Violence Prevention\, a webinar with Professor Carlene Firmin
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Carlene Firmin (Durham University) this February as she shares new research that shines a spotlight on the ways youth workers safeguard young people impacted by violence. \n\n\n\nThe findings show that youth workers are often the trusted adults young people turn to. They build safe\, youth led spaces where early intervention\, de escalation\, and meaningful relationships can thrive.  \n\n\n\nFrom referring young people into safeguarding systems\, advocating for their needs in those systems\, building safety in the places they spend their time\, and understanding what young people need\, youth workers are uniquely positioned to provide protect young people and promote their welfare.  \n\n\n\nYet despite this central role\, youth workers often face challenges such as inconsistent recognition within safeguarding systems\, short term funding that undermines stable provision\, and power imbalances that limit their influence in multi agency structures. Carlene will explore these barriers while highlighting how youth centred\, relational practice is essential to safeguarding young people impacted by extra-familial harm.

SUMMARY:Standing in Solidarity Space 4 - Disinformation\, riots\, misogyny\, global conflict and racism
DESCRIPTION:NYA\, RYWU and UK Youth will be joined by Zubeda Limbada – founding Director of ConnectFutures – a female-led social enterprise founded in 2013 which delivers training and research around disinformation\, extremism\, anti-racism\, hate and violence. As adults and educators try to grapple with the range of intersectional social issues\, what are some of the practical insights we can provide to those working with young people? How can we understand\, explore\, explain and really make sense in a way that empowers and educates rather than divides in a fast changing arena? Finally\, how can we centre young people to be the advocates for change?
