We listened to the Youth Sector about what you would like to hear more about, and arranged the following professional development sessions.

Day 2

Included a series of in-depth masterclasses on: How to better manage contracts, gender-sensitive training for inclusive practice, how to embed rights-based approaches across your organisational structure and programming, asset-based community development, and sexuality and sexual health.
