The University of Huddersfield youth and community work staff team are again running a series of lunch time seminars for youth and community work practitioners & students. These seminars aim to support the building of local communities of practice, alongside current students and academics. Such links will enable students to understand the wider environment of youth and community work and will support the sharing of relevant research with practitioners in the field.
On Tuesday 28th February (11-2:30pm) the theme for our seminar is: ‘Supporting unaccompanied young asylum seekers’. Possible speakers from Migration Yorkshire, Kirklees MBC, Bradford Youth Service and University of Sheffield, along with our own colleagues within University of Huddersfield.
Asylum seekers of any age have a challenging time surviving in the UK. Young and unaccompanied asylum seekers are especially vulnerable. Youth workers in our region are increasingly working with these young people and learning how best to support them. Do come along and join in this conversation.
A light lunch will be provided to encourage networking
