The National Youth Agency: History of youth work conference

1 min read
Youth and Policy, The National Youth Agency's journal on youth issues, has joined up with the Department of Youth Development at the University of Minnesota to sponsor the eighth History of Youth and Community Work Study Conference at Ushaw College, Durham, from 6 to 8 March.

Conference organiser Tony Jeffs said: "Interest in the historical development of youth and community work has grown considerably in recent years. Yet there still remain few opportunities for those interested to get together to share their knowledge, ideas and research. This weekend will comprise an eclectic mix of plenary talks, workshops and happenings."

Among the speakers will be Gabriel Eichsteller on the history of social pedagogy and Catriona Kelly, author of two major books on the pioneers and growing up in Soviet Russia. There will be a number of workshops on The Albemarle Report, published 50 years ago, and at least one to mark the 40th anniversary of the launch of the Community Development Programme.
