Global Youth Work

This global youth work project is taking place at YMCAs and other venues all over Wales.

What is Global Youth Work?

Global youth work is all about how the issues that affect you and your life connect with issues for young people all over the world. Global youth work makes you more aware of international issues and can:

give you the skills to take positive action
help you to learn some fun and interesting stuff
make real change in the world around you

“Informal education with young people that encourages a critical understanding of the links between the personal, local and the global and seeks their active participation in actions that bring change towards greater equity and justice.”
(Development Education Association)

Taking action is about young people working together to make a decision to do something positive about the issues that affect us all.
