Youthpod Ireland

This week's episode is an absolute MUST for any/ all aspiring youth workers, for anyone interested in learning about the absolute essentials of youth work and for anyone with any interest in the grittier issues of our profession as we speak to Mick O' Brien, youth worker, educator and lecturer at Maynooth University, Ireland. We delve into the deeper issues of youth work with a man that has been facilitated our own learning over the past year and who himself has a lifetime of experience and a wealth of knowledge in the field. We cover so much in the hour including but not limited to equality and equity, politics, life long learning, upskilling, professionalisation, the core values and principles of youth work and so much more. We left this episode wanting to talk for hours longer, such is Mick's extensive knowledge, aptitude and experience in the field. A fantastic episode and a must for everyone studying or working in the area of youth work.
