The politics of cultural youth work practice

S.E. Abdallah, Femke Kaulingfreks

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › Academic

Abstract

In the midst of growing political and economic disparities, young people use cultural expression and production to bring relief and publicly assert themselves. Youth work becomes in different ways a facilitator and forum for such activities, ascertaining a politicized feature. Youth workers and young people are not always aware of the – at times implicit – political nature of their activities. We explore the ways and degrees to which cultural youth work practice becomes politicized.
