We are excited to announce a special edition of #EAYW podcast, which will be premiered on Friday, February 4, 2022, on our Facebook page at 11:00 Central European Time (CET).
This week, we have published the final report of our Study on Innovation in Youth Work, which focuses on innovation and factors that can support or hinder the innovation process. And we are excited to publish a special edition of our #EAYW podcast where we will be talking with the three researchers!
How is innovation perceived in the youth work sector? What is the innovation ecosystem? And what factors are important for innovation in youth work? What can hinder innovation practices? And how to sustain innovation? These are some questions we discussed with Dragan Atanasov, Michelangelo Belletti and Federica Demicheli.
We kindly invite you to join us on our Premiere on our Facebook page and listen to what Dragan, Michelangelo and Federica can tell us about their insights from the research.
