Challenging Conversations: supporting young people in engaging with controversial equity and sustainability issues
1st October 2024 , 4:00 pm – 5:15 pm
In today’s complex and uncertain world, young people are constantly faced with making decisions about a wide range of controversial issues that provoke strong, varied and often contradictory responses.
How can youth workers confidently create opportunities for young people to:
- engage appropriately and confidently with these complex issues;
- share perspectives and have difficult conversations;
- critically engage with the many sources of information that inform thinking and ideas about controversial issues
- play their part in taking action to create an equitable and sustainable future in their own lives and communities?
Join LfS Scotland, YouthLink Scotland and our special guests, ScotDEC, on 01 October for the latest in our LfS and Youthwork webinar series for the opportunity to:
- Discuss ways of supporting youth workers in working with young people on controversial issues related to equity and sustainability
- Share practice examples
- Share LfS and youth work resources
- Engage and discuss how this topic connects with the aspirations of the national Learning for Sustainability Action Plan and National Youthwork outcomes.
