Supporting the relation between parents and youth work

Follow-up project to 'Parents and youth work', in which we researched the expectations and participation of parents in youth work.

Youth workers experience difficulties with creating and sustaining a meaningful relation between parents and youth work. Parents struggle with this issue as well.

That is why we started this new practice-oriented research project, in which we aim to do more that merely map out the relation between parents and research: we aim to develop a supportive tool for youth work organisations to construct and maintain a meaningful connection with parents.
