PULSE Youth

Youth work is an empowering practice that advocates for and facilitates a young person’s independence, participation in society, connectedness, and realisation of their rights. PULSE (Active Pedagogy for Youth in a More Inclusive Europe) youth work project is funded by Erasmus Plus and started in March 2021.

Through PULSE, we’re collaborating and sharing best practise in Global Citizenship with partner organisations in France, Spain, Sweden and Hungry. This collaboration will strengthen our capacity to better support Global Youth Work in Scotland.

We are exchanging resources and innovative approaches through a series of 3-day workshops showcasing the expertise of each host organisation. These range from exploring how young refugees are campaigning for Climate Action in Sweden, to digital storytelling in schools in Hungary.

Scotdec hosted the project partners in Edinburgh from 26 – 28 April 2022. The workshop was co-hosted by local organisations who we have worked with for many years – YouthLink Scotland, Youth Scotland, Young Scot, Scotland Malawi Partnership, Dynamic Earth, Christian Aid, InterFaith Scotland and Social Enterprise Academy. It was an opportunity to collaborate and share ideas around youth work and equalities, and how youth work in Scotland can contribute to reaching the SDG targets.

At the end of the project we collated this Padlet of best practice.  If you have any questions about these activities or see an opportunity to collaborate, please contact kate@scotdec.org.uk
