"I didn't have a clue about ESDGC before I came here - now I think I'm a pro!"

The Global Youth Work project has recently run two networking events; a two-day residential in Manobier, and a one-day event in Conwy. Both were a fantastic success, showcasing examples of good practice, sharing information about (ESDGC) in youth work in Wales and providing networking and partnership opportunities.

For more info about these events download a copy of the event report, which contains a detailed summary of case studies, presentations, activities and methods used; click on the following links:

“I have this idea but not quite sure if it’s going to work…”

The second Cardiff Global Youth Work/ ESDGC forum meeting is planned for the 29th April at 2pm at Butetown Communities First Office in Dumbells Rd, Butetown. The meetings have been set up to provide a source of peer support to youth workers who are engaged in ESDGC or would like to begin embedding it into their work. The group will also be looking at ESDGC and Global Youth Work in Cardiff as a whole and how it could be increased.

It is open to anyone working with young people. If you would like more information either contact Nia Adamson at Nadamson@cardiff.gov.uk or Gemma Bartlett at gemma@cyfanfyd.org.uk

“It’s about saving the polar bears isn’t it?....... Is it?”

Cyfanfyd recently ran a one-day course “Exploring and Understanding Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship (ESDGC). It was an introductory course providing an overall picture of ESDGC, what it is about and how to incorporate it into practitioners work.

Participants were given opportunities to explore some of the concepts and issues involved in ESDGC and were able to experiment with various techniques and resources that support it. ( Add photo Swansea 169 to this paragraph)

We currently looking into running this training again; if you are interested in attending please contact Annette on annette@cyfanfyd.org.uk or on 029 2066 8999
