Past Conference

NYA and YEF Annual Youth Work Conference

This conference increased awareness of evidence-based approaches on youth work integrated within violence reduction strategies among decision makers, funders and commissioners across relevant sectors and structures.

Delivered in partnership with the National Youth Agency, the conference featured engaging presentations and workshops on a range of topics, building on the previous Youth Sector Conference held in April 2024.  

Attendees heard from speakers and panellists with national, regional and local expertise in the youth sector and youth work practice. They participated in breakout discussions, Q & A sessions, and networking opportunities with colleagues from across England.

The valuable insights gathered during the conference will help shape our collective work and advocacy activity over the coming year.
