Design your own activities

  • Make use of the Bonn Process Standard Presentation for the Community of Practice: the presentation explains the European Youth Work Agenda and the Bonn Process for everyone. You may find it helpful for your understanding and communication if you are engaging in youth work development regardless of your role. You can adapt and translate the presentation and add concrete information from specific youth work context (we kindly ask you to treat the underlying visual identity with respect, thank you
