Reflections on Youthwork The Conference
I meant to post this on Monday, but didn’t really get round to writing it! I have to say, I really enjoyed this year’s conference.

Linkage
Sorry about the vast amount of “youth work links” posts recently. I’ve been using the WordPress Postalicious plugin to automatically publish posts when I add enough new links to my Delicious account.

Set up by some friends here in Littlehampton, “CompassionArt is a charity that joins the dots between art and poverty. It raises money to help breathe life into the poorest [...]
“Who Are You” YouTube Campaign
I posted last week about Barnardo’s Children In Trouble Campaign. I’ve since had various discussions with people who feel that whilst the sentiment of the campaign is great, the shock tactics could perhaps have been better replaced by actually showing young people in a positive light. MAS posted his response here and later updated it [...]
