Dr. Phil Daughtry, Head of School Humanities & Social Science at Tabor Adelaide is a keynote speaker at this year’s 2013 SA Youth Workers’ Conference. Last year whilst Phil was in the UK he met with three significant, longterm youth work academics: Maxine Green, Howard Sercombe and Tony Jeffs where they discussed the value of informal education and the social necessity of youth work. Using selected vignettes from these interviews as a framework, Phil will be presenting on the topic: “What this young person
needs is a really good listening to!” which illustrates and expands on the key themes of the discussions. During his presentation he will introduce the personal and professional setting of his interviewees, show some parts of the filmed interview footage and explore their meaning for the Australian context with reference to actual cases of practices. What emerges is a poignant affirmation of the ongoing role and importance of youth work as a necessary facilitator of informal exploratory space in a curriculumdriven and narrow-outcome-focused cultural setting. To hear what Phil and his panel have to say about, “What this young person needs is a really good listening to!” attended the 2013 SA Youth Workers’ Conference on April 17 – 18 at Tabor Adelaide.
SA Youth Workers Conference The SA Youth Workers Conference (17 - 18 April 2013) will be hosted by Tabor Adelaide. The conference expects to attract more than 250 delegates and being selected as the conference venue is an honour and fantastic opportunity for Tabor. Please make delegates feel welcome if you see them wandering around the campus. South Australian youth workers come from a variety of community services organisations. They will gather to experience a series of workshops, forums, networking opportunities and key note presentations. The conference is an initiative of a coalition of youth service providers, youth worker educators and the Youth Affairs Council of South Australia (YACSA).
