International Science Conference “Empowering Youth Values”

On May 25, the international science conference “Empowering Youth Values” will be held at the University of Tartu Narva College, where we are waiting for all youth work experts and those interested to think along and to discuss the meanings of value-based approaches in working with young people.

The purpose of the conference

The purpose of the conference is to discuss the meaning of a value-based approach in working with young people and the empowerment of young people's values in practice.

Also, to create international contacts and strengthen cooperation. At the conference, we will also summarize the results of the University of Tartu's Narva College research project “Development of an innovative model of youth work organization at the local level based on a youth-centred approach”.
