Following two years' delivery of the National University of Ireland (NUI) Global Youth Work and Development Education Certificate, 2019/20 and 2021/22, and within a wider context of programme development, a space of learning and sharing for a group of youth workers engaged with the programme was created. As part of a continued commitment to supporting youth workers in addressing and engaging issues of inequality, poverty and injustice, as both local and global phenomena, a bootcamp was facilitated as the latest in a series to resource their work as educators. Importantly, using an anti-oppressive framework, youth workers were invited to consider their positionality as educators, and to identify and step into their pedagogical approach and to support them to see their work in this way. This approach is an attempt to bring to the surface much that often goes unsaid or remains unexamined in day-to-day practice. This article will present a reflection on this bootcamp as a means of contributing to the discussion on youth work as a model of transformative education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
