A guide for youth workers: supporting young women as leaders workers and citizens in Europe
As youth workers supporting young women, we are always thinking of how to empower them and help them to overcome their challenges, so that they can thrive in their personal and professional lives, and have agency as citizens. The youth workers involved in the Red:GLOW network have worked together, sharing experiences to create a guide for other youth workers, to learn and share opportunities for young women to gain knowledge, leadership and citizenship skills.
The ideas in this guide are not prescriptive, because youth work and culture across Europe are different. They share ideas that all partners found to be effective, even if delivered in locally-appropriate ways, to inspire a whole-person and intersectional approach to young women’s leadership at school, in the workplace and in the activities that young women undertake during their free time. We want to showcase the value of informal and non-formal learning to developing young women’s development as leaders and citizens.
You can download the guide in six different European languages below:
