Youth Work Week 2011
National Youth Work Week has been coordinated by the National Youth Agency since 1993, providing an opportunity for youth organisations, youth workers and young people engaged in youth work to celebrate the achievements and impact of youth work throughout the UK.
Youth Work Week will run this year from 31st October – 6th November 2011. Each year Youth Work Week centres on a single theme. In 2011 the theme is:
“Youth Work – Bringing Communities Together’’
This years' theme was chosen in response to the disturbances across the UK earlier this year and was launched by NYA chief executive Fiona Blacke.
