Dear Colleague,

History of Youth and Community Conference 14th -16th October 2011

We are delighted to report that the History of Youth and Community Work Conference, re-arranged due to the sudden and unforeseen closure of Ushaw College, has now acquired both a new date and venue. The conference will now take place at the Northern College during mid-October. Therefore we would like to take this opportunity to renew our invitation for you to join at the sixth History of Youth and Community Work Study Conference organized by the editorial board of Youth and Policy. This like the others is run on a non-profit basis and despite higher residential costs we have managed to avoid any increase in costs this year.

As with the earlier gatherings it will include a mix of plenary sessions, workshops and 'surprise' events. Amongst the plenary speakers will be Gillian Darley, the historian and author of the standard biography of Octavia Hill and the recently re-published Villages of Vision, on historical attempts to develop planned community; and the historian, author and adult educator Nigel Todd on the first 100 years of the Workers’ Education Association. To mark the 100th Centenary of the National Association of Girls’ Clubs (now UKYouth) there will be a symposium on the history of youth work with girls and young women.

At the heart of each conference are the workshops. At the last conference we had nearly 30. The breadth is always impressive covering an enormous range of topics linked to the history of youth work, adult education and community work. As before some of these will focus on the historical development of practice in countries outside the UK. A feature of this conference is that around a third of those attending volunteer to deliver a workshop. This will we hope be once again a relaxed gathering of enthusiasts keen to talk to and learn from each other. Amongst the topics for which workshops have already been offered are pioneering girls’ clubs; village colleges and community schooling; Scouting; community education; Sunday Schools; the education and training of youth workers; the origins of the current crisis in youth work; Amelia Earhart; the Cutteslowe Wall, Oxford; and the history of the National Association of Girls’ Clubs.

If you are planning to attend we do hope you will consider offering a workshop. If this is not feasible simply come along and enjoy the wide variety that will inevitably be provided by participants.

As in the past we will be organizing a bookstall. If you would like to bring new or old books for sale please feel free to do so.

All delegates will receive a complimentary copy of the forthcoming volume Essays on the History of Community and Youth Work which is being published by Russell House in 2011, priced £24.99.

The conference will take place at Northern College which is to be found near Barnsley in South Yorkshire. Located in a magnificent stately home set amongst beautiful parkland and gardens this modern higher education college offers excellent conference facilities. If you would like more details please write or e.mail Tracey Hodgson at the above address.

Please feel free to circulate the attached booking form and letter throughout your networks.

Yours sincerely,

Tracey Hodgson and Tony Jeffs

YOUTH & COMMUNITY WORK

Interest in the historical development of youth and community work has continued to grow in recent years. Yet still there remain few opportunities for those interested in this topic to get together to share their knowledge, ideas and research. Youth and Policy is therefore once again sponsoring what will be our sixth study conference held at Northern College, near Barnsley .

The weekend will as before comprise an eclectic mix of plenary talks, workshops and happenings. At the last conference almost 30 workshops were offered on a wide range of topics and we confidently expect more this time. If you are willing to lead a workshop we would be delighted to hear from you. Advance notice is required to enable us to finalise the programme. Will those willing to offer a workshop please tick the box overleaf and we will get in touch or contact Tony Jeffs directly at tony.jeffs@durham.ac.uk either way we will be delighted to make all the arrangements.

The conference bookstall will sell new and second hand stock. Please bring any items you would like to sell on.

The location is the Northern College, Barnsley situated at the grade 1 listed Wentworth Castle.

All who attend will receive a complimentary copy of the latest volume of Essays on the History of Youth and Community Work published by Russell House, approx £25.99.

The conference runs from 17.00hrs Friday to 14.00hrs Sunday.

Confirm your booking by returning the form to conferences@.

Continue along road (approx 1 mile) until it changes into a dual carriageway, stay in the right hand lane until you reach the filter road to turn right across the dual carriageway, at the traffic lights. After turning right, continue down the hill, over the motorway bridge and then first left into Gilroyd village. Follow winding road through Gilroyd, over small bridge and sharp bend to the T Junction. Turn right up Stainborough Lowe hill, and continue for approx ½ mile. The College entrance is on the left hand side at the top of the hill.

After approx 500 yards take the left turning, by the obelisk, into The Walk (signposted Pilley). Stay on this road for three miles, passing under the motorway and through Stainborough village. Halfway up the hill turn left into the College drive which is clearly signposted.
