Working with Youth in Community and Organisational Settings (Part 1)

This course will raise students’ consciousness of youth in various life, work, and developmental contexts. Students will be introduced to the theory and practice of community development, with particular reference to the work of critical consciousness, appreciative inquiry and positive youth development theorists. They will examine how other people have worked in communities, and their theories about their work. There will also be an examination of institutions, community settings as well as settings in which ethnic, racial and religious minorities exist.
