About Global Youth Work

CYEC don't just organise exchanges - we are part of many UK-based and international projects which promote global youth work. Global youth work is informal education that supports young people to develop a critical understand of the links between personal, local and global issues.

CYEC are member of the Development Education Association (DEA). You can find out more about the principles behind global youth work on the DEA Website, or the Sustainable Development & Youth Work micro-site which includes a range of case studies of global youth work in action.
