International Child and Youth Care Week, 2024
The International Child and Youth Care Network (CYC-Net) will be celebrating International Child and Youth Care Workers Week during the first full week of May – starting May 5th, 2024.
The theme for this year is Celebrating Relational Child & Youth Care Practice: Around the World.
There is a difference between having a relationship and being in relationship. Relational CYC practice involves ‘being in relationship’ with other and focuses on the characteristics of that relationship. It is, as Gerry Fewster said, “not only a very different perspective; it is a different pathway, across a very different terrain, in search of a very different destination”. And it is this that we celebrate around the world – a CYC approach to helping which focuses on the relationship as the focus of our engagement with youth and others.
So, how will you, in your corner of the globe, celebrate this focus on the relational?

CYC Conversations 1
"Wow, I wish I hadn't done that"
In our work with children, how often have we thought
“Wow, I wish I
hadn’t done that” after reflecting on a past situation or event? And it
didn’t necessarily have to be something “bad” – just anything really.
Come and hang out with us for an hour on 8 May, 10am CST as
we chat and reflect about
those situations where “we wish we hadn’t done that”. Arrive when you can and
leave when you need to. And maybe you can share your “wish I hadn’t
done that” moment with us too.
Pre-register here for our get-together.
