EXCITING NEWS for July - more details in the episode and by clicking th links below.
In this second season of the podcast we have been mainly focusing 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 captures a snapshot of what has been happening in this past year & is available now.
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 buy the book or get in touch by going to my website www.jenniosborn.organd clicking on one of the options there.
This episode is a conversation with Adam Muirhead from the Trust for Community Development in Brighton. We talk about youth work and politics, the creativity and flexibility of youth workers during this past year in particular that can also lead to burnout because, for the most part, we are natural ‘helpers’ and ‘doers’. There’s something very profound about the concept of doing less, better in our work and making small changes that will have a big impact.
