By Any Means Possible (BAMP!)
​
Youth Focus North West have become the archive for the podcast resource, a series of insightful narrative podcasts from Sally, Mary and Janet.
More on the BAMP project from the creators:
"During lockdown, a group of older women who had worked, or are working, in Wigan Youth Service from around the 1980's, got together over Zoom to look at how their stories could be recorded to document their experiences and promote youth work.
Everything from growing up in working class communities, the limitation of resources and how reflection of the struggles and joys of working with young people."
​
The podcast series is invaluable and recognises the journeys and pathways, challenges, successes and captures real life stories to support a reflective consideration of practice today and the development made, alongside the more we have to do!

Federation for Detached Youth Work Regional Conference : Evolution
19th October 2024
The Federation for Detached Youth Work will be holding a regional conference. The booking link for the conference is below.
Mike Collyer (Vice Chair FDYW) invites you to the second West Midlands Federation for Detached Youth Work conference, focusing on the theme of “Evolution.” This year, we will explore how our communities have transformed over time, from vibrant street art to diverse shops and poignant memorials.
As detached youth workers, we face the challenge of integrating our efforts with the dynamic changes in our communities. How can we help young people feel connected and understand what community means to them? What does community look like for the youth we serve?
Join us on 19th October at Conegrye Art Centre from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm as we delve into these questions and more. The morning session will feature two keynote speakers, followed by afternoon workshops covering topics such as:
Bringing fun into our work with young people
Assessing risks in our work
Hearing from young people about their experiences with detached youth work
Ticket Information: You can purchase your ticket on the day using debit/credit card or cash. Alternatively, you can use the Eventbrite link below to secure your ticket online:
