Season 2 Episode 10: The Feast - interfaith youth work Jenni Talks

- Salud mental
Hello and welcome to season 2 of the Jenni Talks podcast. In this season we are going to focus on conversations with people about creating new opportunities, communities and spaces for young people & youth workers to engage with as a result of the pandemic. My book, From Isolation to Community: Youth Work in the Covid Era and Beyond which captures a snapshot of what has been happening in this past year is available now. In it I have recorded the stories of many people working with young people across the UK during the pandemic, we will be hearing from some of these same youth workers but also from others who I’ve come across who are doing some amazing things to engage, enable and encourage young people to really thrive despite all the restrictions that have been put on us in these pandemic times.
You can buy the book by going to my website www.jenniosborn.org and clicking on one of the options there.
One of my passions has been supporting those who work with young people and this was part of the aim of the book, to showcase and reflect on the work that’s happening up and down the country. I also offer mentoring for youth workers, regular sessions over a 6 month period to support youth workers in their roles, acting as a sounding board, as an encourager to make small changes or to think different things through. If you’re interested in mentoring or having conversations about the themes from the book then I am available for book clubs, for resourcing and reflecting with your team or for encouraging youth workers to consider the impact of this pandemic and how we can move forward. You can get in touch via the website.
This episode is a conversation with Ulrike from The Feast, who are an interfaith organisation based mainly in Birmingham but also have a presence in Luton. Ulrike contacted me after hearing my conversation with Adam Whiting a couple of weeks ago and offered to talk more about The Feast as she works for them and is passionate about encouraging young people and others to develop good conversational skills that create community and space for difference of opinion. These skills have always been important but it seems to me it’s more so than ever before as lines of disagreement and fracturing appear in response to some of the very significant events that we have seen played out in our media. We touch on some of these including the anti-racist movement in the wake of George Floyd’s death, Brexit and even American politics. It’s a really interesting conversation that I hope you enjoy as much as I did, perhaps you know someone else who would be interested too – do share with friends, colleagues, neighbours and family!
