Global Youth Work

Cyfanfyd's global youth work project aims to ensure that global citizenship and sustainable development education form an integral part of youth work provision in Wales. Cyfanfyd works closely with partners such as the Council in Wales for Voluntary Youth Services (CWYVS) and Youth and Adult Learning Opportunities (YALO) to promote global youth work or ESDGC in youth work.

We provide specialist support and advice to partner agencies to develop global youth work initiatives. We also develop and run global youth work training courses for practitioners and trainers Wales-wide. We advocate on behalf of global youth work practitioners, and lobby for resources and support amongst decision-makers.
