Marjon YCW Conference 2025: Youth Work ....a Call to Action
In 2024, we held the first Youth Work Is... conference, which brought together more than 70 delegates with a focus on exploring what we mean by Youth & Community work. This included keynote speakers and workshops.
In 2025, we take that approach forward with.... a Call to Action. You are warmly invited to attend a meaningful day dedicated to inspiration, exploration, professional growth, and shared learning. The day will begin with a series of inspiring speakers, followed by lunch (provided) and an afternoon of focused exploration groups, where participants will engage in thoughtful discussion and practical collaboration. Reflection breaks are also scheduled throughout the day. Many of our current students and apprentices will also be attending and will be more than happy to talk about their learning journeys.
