The Youth Work Recovery Conference will take place from 13-16 June 2022 in Helsinki, Finland and will bring policy, practice and research together and discuss the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and crisis on the field of youth work (and its respective actors) across Europe.
The conference aims to explore the evidence on the needs for support of youth work in Europe, on the one hand, and the available support options for youth work in Europe, on the other hand. Therefore, gaps in existing support measures as well as specific and concrete mechanisms needed (in addition to existing ones) should be identified. Another objective is to discuss the role of the European youth programmes in strengthening post-pandemic support of youth work.
