This activity will help you to look at and reflect on how and what you learnt on the way to becoming a youth worker.
By completing this activity, you will be able to:
- reflect on important learning moments in one’s life that lead to becoming a youth worker;
- become aware of what and how you learnt on this journey;
- share and compare with others (if possible).
Step 1
Take a big piece of paper, some pens, pencils and paints. If you have access to natural materials, like stones, sticks or even sand, use them to "build" your pathway to becoming a youth worker.
Look back over your life and think about times or events when you felt you were learning something significant to develop your competences for working with young people and building your youth worker's identity.
The result of this reflection should end up on the paper or visual using the metaphor of a river or pathway.
Step 2
In small groups of two or three youth work colleagues, share as much or as little as you want about your learning pathway with each other. Find out if there are any similarities as well as the major differences about what and how they learned in becoming a youth worker.
