Keepin' it real workshop
The Keepin' it Real workshop delivers a one-day practical training on youth participation.
 The workshop is useful for a wide range of individuals who
work with young people, including local government policy developers,
funders, clinicians, service managers, youth and community development
workers.
What's involved in the workshop?
The Ministry launched the youth development participation guide, Keepin' It Real: A Resource for Involving Young People in May 2003 and then went on to develop the Keepin' it Real training workshop.
The workshops provide an interactive training that uses a variety of different activities to focus on:
- what youth participation is
- the benefits of effective youth participation
- blocks and barriers to youth participation, and identifying solutions for overcoming these
- examining some successful examples of youth participation
- outlining key ethical, safety and quality issues for effective youth participation.
Participants develop an action plan for applying youth participation to
their own work throughout the course of the training workshop.
