The Global Youth Work Partnership East Midlands Network, is a network of youth work practitioners, development educationalists and young people; acting locally – thinking globally. Our vision is to engage young people in an interdependent global community in order to create change for greater equity, justice and a sustainably developed world.

The Network aims to bring together young people with practitioners in the field of youth work and development education in order to promote opportunities for engagement and active participation with the international community and to address issues of development through global citizenship education

As a network our key objectives are:

• Promote opportunities for young people to engage with the international community through exchanges and volunteering
• Develop and promote training for youth workers in the areas of international youth work and development education
• Develop and implement local based strategies for support and project development leading to clear outcomes for young people.
• To disseminate good practice across the region.
