Detached But Not Disconnected - Responding to Disinformation, Populism & Radicalisation

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
