Global Youth Action
A Global Youth Action Project is an opportunity to try out global youth
work through a piece of project work that can last up to a year. Global
youth work can be carried out on a day-to-day basis with young people
by supporting them to look at the global aspect of anything that comes
up, but the GYAPs are an opportunity for the young people to explore
a global influence on their lives in some depth – really get to
understand it and in so doing, want to take control of that aspect of
their lives – make change. Read more…
