This webinar is the second in a series on the foundational concepts of youth engagement.
Webinar Overview
There are many systems that inform our practices. This includes the way we teach, learn, and engage with one another. This session will focus on the ways laws, culture and social norms influence the way we perceive and interact with youth. Participants will learn the importance of regularly dismantling and unlearning practices that oppress youth and how to become adult allies that empower youth.
Webinar Series Details
Youth have the ability and right to be a part of the decisions that impact their life, yet young people are not always welcome within decision-making spaces or processes. As adult coordinators, allies, and partners, it is crucial to create and advocate for environments where youth can express their agency without systematic barriers.
In collaboration with TCCC (Tribal Community Coordinating Center) and the LGBTQ Center OC, CYAN (California Youth Advocacy Network) has developed a webinar series to discuss foundational concepts of youth engagement, restorative and social justice practices, as well as youth-centered spaces – which can all help to nurture authentic youth-adult partnerships. Come and join an informative series and be a part of the movement to expand youth voice and action.
