One World Week is back, and this time we are taking on one of the biggest challenges with working with young people today. Globalisation. What is it? How does it work? Is it a good thing? Does this mean I can’t shop in Penney’s anymore?!
The free One World Week workshops are aimed at young people and youth workers. We will use non-formal development education methods to connect young people and youth workers with the theme.
The training looks to build on a young person’s role in their local community, and within a globalised World. This training is designed to be delivered online or in-person with an established youth work organisation and space.
The Equality and Intercultural Programme in the National Youth Council of Ireland supports the youth work sector to develop responsive, equal, and inclusive youth work practice. This e-learning introduces youth workers and volunteers to a way of working with young people who cause harm or hate through hateful language and actions to those from (or perceived to be from) minority or marginalised identities.
