Thanks to everyone at #YCENConf for a brilliant few days on youth activism and participation. Really engaged and supportive group with useful feedback and questions - definitely spurred me on to get some good PhD work done when I get back!

Researching youth engagement @PaulFenton_FRSA’s research for @phf_uk: a progression from youth development to youth activism. Arguing for the politYcal (Aristotle) as the nature of democratic governing vs the practice of power #YCENConf

Annabel Elliott @doubleTdevelop reflecting on the recent evaluation of her co-founded social enterprise: what do young people think about volunteering? #YCENConf

[Dr Ali Body @AliBody1]

Fantastic opening provocation by @PaulFenton_FRSA #YCENConf - are schools equipped to really teach democracy?

[Andrew Peterson @apetersoned]

Fantastic symposium on youth activism in the UK led by @PaulFenton_FRSA to start the final morning of the conference #YCENConf

Day 3 at #YCENConf kicking off with contrasting perspectives of youth activism in the UK @PaulFenton_FRSA

[Youth Activism, Engagement and Education Network @YCE_Network]

It's the final day of the #YCENConf. We're kicking off with parallel sessions. Looking forward to Yusef Waghid's keynote before we say farewell to delegates. It wouldn't have been the same without your inspirational participation.

Great contribution from Joumana Talhouk @AUB_Lebanon on the gaps in education in supporting youth activism, but also highlighting the role of youth activism in educating - leading campaigns in Lebanon that directly influence public opinion. #YCENConf

[Bridget Kohner @BridgetKohner]

The role of teachers in civic education continuing as a theme at #YCENConf, w @BronwynEWood emphasising the high levels of creativity and agility required from teachers to successfully implement the ‘personal social action’ assessment in New Zealand.

[Andrew Peterson @apetersoned]

A theme that seems to be recurring at #YCENConf is that youth activism is being used - in particular places, at particular times, in particular ways - to stabilise dominant powers rather than actively challenge and address power imbalances.
