#EducationNeedsYouthWork Campaign
Are you ready for the #EducationNeedsYouthWork Campaign?
Mark the date in your calendar – Monday 19th to Friday 23rd February 2024.
#EducationNeedsYouthWork will highlight why youth work is crucial to Scottish education. It’s about ensuring every young person has access to youth work as an integral part of their educational journey.
Why? – because young people tell us youth work should be part of their education.
Throughout the week, YouthLink Scotland will present compelling evidence showcasing the pivotal impact of youth work across school and post-school learning.
