The week, which takes place from 1-7 November, follows on from the Council of Europe initiative of the same name, and has the same themes - human rights, participation and diversity.
Fiona Blacke, NYA chief executive, said: "These themes provide scope for all youth work bodies to find a way of celebrating, promoting and improving their practice. Maybe your group wants to highlight the ways it provides a welcoming, inclusive environment for all young people. Maybe you want to celebrate the way you reach out to specific groups of young people who find they face prejudice or exclusion elsewhere. Or perhaps you want to champion the cause of giving young people a say and a stake in their communities. Some groups may choose to use Youth Work Week to focus on themed activities with young people, others may choose to influence local decision-makers and funders. Whatever you do, we wish you well and thank you for your efforts in contributing to the wellbeing of young people."
