Podcast Notes

The series opens with a discussion about the importance of youth work in making connections between young people and empowering them to take action on the issues they face. It looks at the challenges that youth workers face with access to funding and the difficulties with conducting cross-border work. There are lessons to be learned between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and we hear from youth workers about the opportunities they see for collaboration between their organisations. Finally, we talk about projects such as the Shared Island Youth Forum that are facilitating cross-border youth work, and the steps that are needed to carry learnings forward into action.
