I've had a pretty exciting and intense couple of days at the 2gether08 festival of ideas and action in Shoreditch in London.
You can read a bit about what I was up to exploring models for Youth Work 2.0 over here, and creating a pitch for Detached Youth Work in the online social networking space here (all things arising from the Youth Work and Social Networking Research Project).
But rather than tell you all about the amazing potential of social technologies for youth work, I wanted to ask for your help. Your help in finding resources which offer an audience who've never knowingly encountered Youth Work before a sense of what it is about.
I've only really become familiar with what makes Youth Work what it is through my research over the last year - but I find I'm almost always having to spend the first five minutes of any conversation on 'Youth Work 2.0' going round in circles to explain Youth Work as it is now. And right now I can't invite people to search the web to find out more, because frankly, there appears to be a real lack of clear resources presenting what youth work is.
That's why, in the 'just sort it out' spirit of 2gether, I've stared this discussion over on UK Youth Online to invite you to help out and share your resources that tell an audience who have never knowingly come into contact with Youth Work what it is all about.
You could share a video, a presentation, a leaflet - anything that helps tell the story of youth work more...
