10 Bridges for Recognition | What is Bridges for Recognition? - Introduction<br />
Participants<br />
Participants in the conference came from all over Europe and represented a variety of stakeholders<br />
in the youth work recognition debate. The participant list of 120 people included:<br />
youth workers, NGO representatives & youth (work) trainers,<br />
labour market representatives,<br />
academics from the formal-education sector & vocational trainers,<br />
National Agency staff and National Coordinators of the European YOUTH programme,<br />
(European) policy makers and representatives of local and national authorities and …<br />
even a few people who could still be classed as “young”…<br />
The wealth of experience, understanding and commitment to the development of young people<br />
as individuals and as citizens was enormous, as well as the drive to improve the recognition of<br />
youth work in society.<br />
Sixteen workshops providing case studies of good practice from across Europe; seven stakeholder<br />
groups with different needs; and six “hot issues” interest groups, together created a framework<br />
for all these people to build bridges and to gather resources for further cooperation and<br />
collaboration and to make recognition of youth work a reality.<br />
