Dear Paul, the speech should become available as a video link on this site in the near future. You'll find your interpretation to be consistent with what I was talking about. Graeme

I love this example. It is interesting that in road management we are now seeing a movement toward making areas more social, see Oxford Street's new crossing. Perhaps as detached youth worker we need the courage to remove similar barriers and focus…

Comments from Kev and Roy from an email... Kev said... I'm not sure we have a fed position, and my feeling is that if we did we'd probably be alienating workers who are expected to wear uniforms. My thoughts are; Why are uniforms being suggested?…

Pro-social interventions

Great to see everyone at the conference. Like Sacha, who points out the Fed is an organisation 'of and for' detached youth workers, I think we have something really special, with a growing energy and power.

In relation to my presentation, should anyone still be a little confused about my theory (and practice) of 'pro-social interventions' take a look at this:

Working with young migrants?

Anybody out there keen to become involved in an action research project on the integration processes of young immigrants? You will need to be working with young migrants and amenable to participating in a series of seminars with workers from other European countries over the next couple of years. There is a need to get a group of about 20 workers from the UK together in order that we can participate. Funding available. Please contact me, c/o the Fed. and I'll send you the info. Graeme

Detached Youth Work ref. on R4 - only 7 days to Listen Again

Listen to this link to hear our ally Richard Pring extol the virtues of detached youth work. Its available on Listen Again, but only until the 9th of July:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8129000/8129976.stm

If that doesn't work, the manual route is to find Radio 4's Today Programme Listen Again facility. Go to Thursday (2nd July) and you'll find Professor Pring's contribution at 0749 hours.

Hope you find it.
