The Commonwealth Secretariat on behalf of the Commonwealth Higher Education Consortium for Youth Work, the Professional Association of Lecturers in Youth and Community Work (PALYCW) and the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) will be hosting a virtual world café on the 17 June 2021 from 2.00-4.30pm.
This event is an opportunity for Commonwealth colleagues to reflect and engage in dialogue on emerging themes in relation to teaching and practising youth work under COVID-19.
Participants will have an opportunity to:
- Share and reflect on their experiences and challenges during the global outbreak;
- Learn from each other about creative responses and innovations in the teaching and practice of youth work;
- Explore ways of thinking critically and reflectively about youth work; and
- Forge connections, extend networks, share resources, and establish effective collaborations.
The Association has been working with Commonwealth Higher Education Consortium for Youth Work on a number of tailored international events and this is the first of what we hope will be regular open events to facilitate engagement across teaching institutions throughout the Commonwealth
To join the online Café event you can register on Eventbrite.
