Final In Person Youth Worker Gathering : Development Day

---Hold Page - Programme TBC---

This will be the final in person youth worker gathering held by Colours Youth Network. We are still shaping the theme and programme for the day. We encourage you to hold the date and await more info to come. You can see previous in person youth worker gathering events to get a sense of what this event will entail here and here.

CYN Youth Worker Gatherings are a space for LGBTQ POC youth workers to come together and just be. Feedback from previous sessions and conversations have highlighted how important it is for us to have a regular, closed space for us to come together, check in, and talk. These spaces are pretty rare and we want to change that.

These gatherings are relaxed, informal spaces to:

• breathe
• share experiences
• pose questions and ideas
• give and seek peer support
• connect with other youth workers around the UK

All LGBTQ POC youth workers are welcome, you might be working with LGBTQ POC youth right now, you might be a worker in a youth organisation totally unrelated to these identities, you might be taking a break from youth work at the moment - whatever your current practise, you are welcome!

Gatherings generally are not about sharing youth work practise or focussing too much on our actual youth work (though we may hold some sessions focussed more on our work in the future if there is want for this)- they are about nurturing us as as individuals and as a collective.

*LGBTQ POC - we use Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer People of Colour to identify groups to include the vast spectrum of sexualities, expressions and gender identities within those terms.

Joyful throwback to our 2022 in person gathering!
