By Any Means Possible Podcast
As women youth workers with limited resources we had to get the job of supporting young people done by any means possible. Our practice focused on young people, their lives, their achievements, their stories. Well now it’s our turn! These podcasts focus on our stories as youth workers: the favours we pulled, the collaborations we made, the small untruths we told, the antics we got up to and the lives we changed, which of course included our own.
By Any Means Possible Podcast
Episode 005: I wanted to wear trainers and drive a minibus
In this episode we discuss the impact of what we learned as youth workers on our own lives, what was expected of us as women from working class backgrounds and how we challenged that
