The Positive Youth Development in Aotearoa (PYDA) framework is a practical and helpful lens to put over the way we work and help ensure we are all approaching youth development with a common language and a framework applicable for Aotearoa. It's a 'must do' training for everyone who works for or with young people.
The workshop introduces the two overarching outcomes we are all seeking to achieve, Developing the Whole Person and Developing Connected Communities, and explores the approaches we take to achieve these outcomes of Strength-Based Practice, Developing Respectful Relationships and Building Ownership and Empowerment.
You learn about manaakitanga, whanaungatanga and other key Māori concepts and how they apply to best practice youth development honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi. These concepts are excellent guides for working with and developing young people from all cultures in a positive way.
Highly interactive, during the day you explore how the PYDA framework applies to your practice, and how to practically apply the framework to your organisation, your role, and the young people whose lives you touch.
It's a fundamental training for everyone who works with, or for, young people; no matter whether they are long experienced or brand new.
