ID Talks Social Justice and Activism by Eimear Manning || Full Video

Описание: #idtalks

3 September - 29 October 2025, Online

👉 In autumn 2025, the ID Talks will look into the dynamics between structural change and individual integration/inclusion. While focusing on individual needs is necessary, a more significant focus should be on developing inclusive, diversity-sensitive structures that eliminate barriers from the beginning. Thus, we will explore the linkages between addressing individual needs and fostering structural changes.

✔️ “ID Talks” is a series of 5 online workshops on 5 major topics in the promotion of Inclusion & Diversity (ID) and quality youth work. It features youth workers, professionals, and volunteers, from all over the world to share insights, research findings, food for thought, good practices, or inspirational stories. They will guide participants through the pressing matters and challenges affecting Inclusion & Diversity and inspire them to make their programmes and organisations more inclusive, embrace human differences, look ahead and picture how the future of youth work and Inclusion & Diversity might be.

📆 When?

✔️ 3 September (13h CET) ID Talks Social Justice and Being Human (A Tale of Two Sophias): What does it mean to be human, who is included and who is excluded? What is social justice? How is the world - our environment, technology etc. - shaping today’s young people? Let’s look into some modern humanist ideals and theories, debate on societal dilemmas and their implications for youth work practice. Guest speaker: Maria Pisani, Malta

✔️ 17 September (13h CET) ID Talks Social Justice and Youth Work: How does social justice translate to youth work? What are the different models to ensure access and equity in youth work? Let’s talk about the focus of youth work as a value-based profession - should it be about societal change or individual integration? We will examine youth work on the crossroads of individual needs and structural changes. Guest speaker: Silvia Volpi, Italy

✔️ 1 October (13h CET) ID Talks Social Justice and Human Rights: How are human rights regarded in today’s society? Are there any new concepts and definitions, and how do they reflect the reality of human rights today? What is the role of youth work in promoting, advocating and defining human rights? Let’s see how young people are challenging the existing structures, advocating for new issues and breaking existing patterns. Guest speaker: Neringa Tumėnaitė, the UK

✔️ 15 October (13h CET) ID Talks Social Justice and Activism: What is (youth) activism and what forms can it take? Why do young people engage in activism and what issues are they ready to “fight for”? Should youth work be “radical” and “political”? Let’s discuss the links between activism and youth work and see how activism contributes to creation of a just society. Guest speaker: Eimear Manning, Ireland

✔️ 29 October (13h CET) ID Talks Social Justice and Education: What is the role of (non-formal) education in actively countering injustice and helping to build inclusive democracy for the benefit of all? What kind of tools and resources are needed? Let’s discover examples of social justice education and peace education cases, and see how they are contextualised and targeted at young people with fewer opportunities. Guest speaker: Maria Sakarias, Estonia
