The SAGE Handbook of Youth Work Practice (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

The SAGE Handbook of Youth Work Practice showcases the value of professional work with young people as it is practiced in diverse forms in locations around the world. The editors have brought together an international team of contributors who reflect the wide range of approaches that identify as youth work, and the even wider range of approaches that identify variously as community work or community development work with young people, youth programmes, and work with young people within care, development and (informal) education frameworks. The Handbook is structured to explore histories, current practice and future directions:

Part One: 'Youth Work' and Approaches to Professional Work with Young People
Part Two: Professional Work With Young People: Projects and Practices to Inspire
Part Three: Values and Ethics in Work with Young People
Part Four: Current Challenges and Hopes for the Future

Rezensionen

This book remarkably covers the breadth of youth work in all its diversity while capturing the common threads and principles that make for its distinct practice. This book maintains academic rigour while retaining an eye for the nuances of practice, which it contextualises beautifully. It gives insight into the practice of youth work for both the novice and the seasoned activist and archivist. Perhaps most importantly it re-affirms the need to defend youth work in times of uncertainty and with the creeping malaise of neo-liberalism, neo conservatism and new managerialism. This book is a must for any pedagogue, practitioner, student or policy maker with a concern for young people and the practices and professionals who work with them. I would recommend it becomes essential reading list on any youth and community work course. Dr Mike Seal 20180508
