Growing Youth Work

Growing Youth Work We create opportunities and offer support for youth work development. Thus, we foster a network to strengthen youth work across Europe together.

Growing Youth Work is run by 16 National Agencies and SALTO Youth Resource Centres. The European Service Centre for the Bonn Process is a unit within JUGEND für Europa, German National Agency for the EU youth programmes Erasmus+ Youth and European Solidarity Corps. Together with the German Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, we are the former hosts of the 3rd European Youth Work Convention and fe

el committed to the Bonn Process. That’s why we decided to take responsibility for supporting the Bonn Process beyond the unique Convention moment. Our mission is to contribute to making the Bonn Process a vibrant community process. We see the potential that this leads to a future in which youth work is recognized and visible, innovative, future-fit and well-provided. In this vision youth work is accessible for all young people in their diversity through quality youth work offers and is appreciated as a valuable contribution to a democratic, social, sustainable and peaceful Europe.

What does research tell us about how the European Youth Work Agenda is being implemented across countries? At the Exchange Forum, the Survey Report 2025 looked at 36 national processes, showing state of play, direction, and lots of activity across priority areas. 😀 And our interview with Frederike Hofmann-van de Poll, Jules Heger and Åsa Gunvén brings their reflection on the research!

How can youth work learning be meaningfully recognised and validated? Why does validation of non-formal learning remain so difficult, even when both youth work and higher education support it in principle? And what happens when youth work outcomes are translated into formal education systems? If you are interested to find answers to these questions, join us on our webinar “Youth Work Talks: Recognition” that will happen on 30 April 2026, from 11:00 to 12:30 CET. 😀

The webinar will bring together practitioners, researchers, educators, and policy makers for an open conversation on recognition, validation, and the relationship between youth work and formal education systems. You can expect a dynamic and participatory format with panel discussion, audience interaction and breakout groups!

Find the call here ➡️ https://bit.ly/ywt-webinar1 and register by 29 April 2026 here ➡️ https://bit.ly/ywt-register1.

We look forward to seeing you online! 😀

Did you know?
