Our series continues on 21 October
Changing realities: how to research digital youth work in the future
Our thematic online series of evidence-based youth research findings will continue on 21 October. This time, we will shift our focus a bit and instead of discussing recent RAY research findings, we aim for a future-oriented dialogue on how to research digital youth work – needs and challenges. We will hear some insights and ideas from our RAY transnational research team as well as from our guest speaker.

What are the Youth Research Dialogues?
The overall aim of the ‘Youth Research Dialogues’ series is to not only to make RAY research findings more accessible but also other European youth research studies and create a dialogue between researchers about their findings. The ‘Youth Research Dialogues’ series promotes different topics, e.g. inclusion and diversity, pandemic and youth work, digitalisation etc.
In addition to researchers from the RAY Network, the ‘Youth Research Dialogues’ series features research colleagues from different global and European contexts and networks.
The Youth Research Dialogue series is addressed to the European youth sector and participation will be possible through a livestream, and the recorded video can also be watched after the live event.
