Community work is concerned with the development and empowerment of communities through facilitating the active participation of people in addressing issues that affect them collectively. It can be done in a variety of contexts: in neighbourhoods, with specific groups (e.g. women, Travellers) as well as with partnership groups, local authorities and state agencies. Community work in Ireland is presented with a number of opportunities and challenges by the rapidly changing social context of recent years, including work with new communities, migrant workers and refugees; combating racism; and challenging the persistence of other social and economic inequalities.
Youth work is defined in Irish legislation as a ‘planned programme of education designed for the purpose of aiding and enhancing the personal and social development of young persons through their voluntary participation’ and it is intended to be complementary to young people’s formal and vocational education and training. The Youth Work Act gives Vocational Education Committees (VECs) responsibility for ensuring and coordinating the provision of youth work at local level, while direct youth work provision continues to be carried out primarily by voluntary organisations. The BA in Community and Youth Work is a fully integrated programme of education and training in both community and youth work. |
