Partnership-building Activity
8-11 September 2025 | Dublin, Ireland
Across Europe, youth workers are increasingly encountering the impact of disinformation, populist narratives, and the threat of radicalisation among young people.
These challenges influence young people’s perspectives, deepen social divides, and undermine trust in democratic systems. This contact-making seminar, led by expert trainers in detached youth work, will bring together youth professionals to explore how these issues manifest in the context of street-based and detached youth work, where young people are often disconnected from formal services.
The seminar is will:
- Share practical approaches and insights from the field of detached youthwork in addressing disinformation, populism & radicalisation
- Explore how youth work can build resilience and connection
- Create space for collaboration and future European projects
This seminar offers a unique opportunity to learn from real practice, through a study visit in Dublin, and to connect with others tackling these same issues across Europe and neighbouring EU countries.
Objectives:
- Examine how disinformation, populism, and radicalisation are affecting young people today
- Observe how these challenges are being addressed through youth work in detached settings
- Exchange practical tools, methods, and lessons from across Europe and neighbouring countries
- Build partnerships and networks to develop resilient, community-rooted youth work responses
- Explore future cooperation through Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps funding
