This Masterclass is the second in the series of 4 but can be attended or booked as a standalone masterclass. It is aimed at professionals who want to successfully engage diverse groups of young people from the very beginning of their work. Additionally, this masterclass explores how to incorporate the "youth lens/youth voice” and how to keep youth action at the heart of what they do by using youth participation and co-production methods that are explored in the masterclass.
