Study Visit
5-8 June 2023 | Brussels, Belgium - FL
What is the study visit about:
The focus of this study visit is the role of youth work in promoting the mental well-being of young people.
The centrepiece of this visit is the 2nd National Youth Work Congres, taking place on 6th of June. One of the priority themes is mental health. On the day before and after, participants will be offered field visits and workshops on the topic of mental well-being.
Background information on the National Youth Work Congres
The second National Youth Work Congres entitled #Youthworkworks is one of the largest events in the youth field in Belgium. This lively one-day event is organised by De Ambrassade (the national youth work support centre) and aims at gathering the entire youth field in Flanders (the Dutch-speaking community in Belgium). During this day, a wide range of workshops, exchange opportunities and other activities will be offered. The mental wellbeing of young people is one of the 6 priority themes at this event. Several workshops or talks on this particular topic will be offered in English, to allow international participants to join in.
The first edition of the Congres took place in 2018 and resulted into the adoption of a common framework on the DNA & mission of youth work. This framework highlights the shared mission of youth work and the DNA of a youth worker and supports the adoption of a common language. At the upcoming Congres, this 5-year old framework will be updated and a new section on the impact of youth work will be added.
The Congres contributes to the European Youth Work Agenda, aimed at supporting youth work development.
