All of us can contribute to the development of the youth work environment! What needs to change? Do I need to be a superhero and do everything on my own? Where do I start? The EU-Council of Europe Youth Partnership's upcoming publication can support you in starting a change.

In this episode, we are talking with Ajša Hadžibegović and Bastian Küntzel, the two authors of Thinking Together and Levelling Up: a thinking and action kit for the continuous development, improvement and strengthening of the youth work field. Youth work development can start with a dream, followed by a reality check and a plan of where you want to go. The Thinking kit invites you to check the reality of youth work, to think what aspects of it need improvement and seeing how others did it, develop a step-by-step action plan. The Thinking kit will be available soon.

Hosts: Ismael Paez Civico and Marietta Balázs

The Thinking kit draws on an extensive body of research on education and career pathways of youth workers carried out between 2018-2020, mapping realities and delving into specific aspects of youth work in Europe. The research was published in Youth worker education in Europe: policies, structures, practices by Marti Taru, Ewa Krzaklewska, Tanya Basarab (eds)
