NYA Events

Please find below a list of our upcoming digital events NYA are running. Please click the sign up here link to find out more about each session and submit your details to receive a joining link.

Part of these events are monthly Youth Work Tea Breaks. The idea of the tea breaks was the development of a reflective platform to enable practitioners to come together and explore common themes which impact our practice on a daily basis. It is very much an informal learning set, bringing together youth work practitioners to engage in critical thinking and dialogue. Each session has a specific theme and the discussions are very much led by the participants.

Our Tea Breaks and Supper Clubs are not only spaces for critical reflection, sharing and debate, they can also be counted towards your professional development…take a look at our events and be sure to include them in your CPD plans!

Youth Work Connect – Detached Youth Work: Shared Values for Empowered Community Practice	Detached Youth Work faces new challenges as fewer young people are ‘seen’ in public spaces and funders target specific neighbourhoods and groups. Understanding Detached Youth Work values is crucial, especially when funders may not fully grasp its essence. Balancing these external agendas while upholding values is key. Are funding pressures compromising quality and relationship-building? Is there enough training accessible to all?    Join us to explore these challenges, uphold values, and ensure quality in Detached Youth Work across communities.

Youth Work Insight – Breaking Barriers: Challenging Misogyny Experienced by Girls and Young Women	This session follows our previous insight session focusing on boys and how we navigate misogyny. This, our second webinar will focus on girls, exploring the significant impact of misogyny on girls and young women. Gender stereotypes are deeply rooted in society and shape how we expect boys and girls to behave. These stereotypes limit both genders, promoting unfair beliefs and discrimination from a young age. Our webinar series aims to shed light on this issue through discussions with experts, academics, and practitioners.	21 May 2024	12:30 – 14:00	Register here
