About the event

Do you work with young people who are finding their voice? Would you like to learn more about setting up youth led self-advocacy networks?

Constellation Networks in Youth Self-Advocacy is a two-day practical training course to share information and strategies for youth workers to set up a youth self-advocacy network. With our expert facilitator Seamus Quinn, we will explore the methods of how to engage and empower young people in every step of the process. See how the Erasmus+ programme can support these self-advocacy actions and networks.

Featuring inspiring guest speakers and best practice examples from across the youth work field.
