We support innovation in youth work and youth work policy.
We promote the development of quality youth work through exchange on current developments and different ways and practices of addressing them.

We have launched a new Companion for navigating innovation and futures thinking in youth work - a reflective resource developed by the field, for the field. 🤩 🚀
Bringing together insights and guiding questions from learning cycles between 2018 and 2025, the Companion supports youth workers, organisations, trainers, facilitators, policy actors, and networks in opening dialogue, questioning assumptions, and exploring future directions for youth work. 😀 It is available both as a publication and as a set of interactive cards for group reflection and participatory sessions. 📚 🃏
Every journey into the future is better with a Companion. We hope you enjoy this one! Find the Companion here ➡️ https://www.eayw.net/companion/. 💪 😎
