Panel
Europe@DJHT
JUGEND für Europa, Nationale Agentur für die EU-Förderprogramme Erasmus+ Jugend, Erasmus+ Sport und Europäisches Solidaritätskorps
Young people and societies are facing major transformation processes. What does this mean for youth work? The event will initiate discussions on opportunities and challenges to support all young people to participate, especially in these times.
The opening event of the European conference programme Europe@DJHT will discuss the major social transformations that young people and societies are facing today and what they mean for youth work.
How can youth work in Europe (continue to) support all young people to participate, especially in a context of digital transformation, increasing displacement and migration, climate change, and political and social polarisation?
- What is the vision (and practice) of the youth field for sustainable cooperation and communication for and with young people?
- What values are relevant in today's societies, and how can youth work contribute to living them?
- What should youth work practice and societies look like in the long term to be a healthy environment for young people and their future?
- How can youth work contribute to strengthening young people's political and social participation?
As part of an interactive panel discussion, representatives from politics, research, and practice will discuss and explore their respective perspectives on how youth work is influenced and affected by these processes and how the youth field in Europe supports and empowers young people to navigate these times of change. The opening event will set the scene for further events of the European programme, inviting participants to explore and discuss the four major societal transformation processes (digital transformation, displacement and migration, climate change, and social and political polarisation) and their implications for youth work in more depth. The event will also introduce Europe@DJHT as such and provide information about the wider European programme Europe@DJHT, with its various elements in the conference programme and exhibition space.
