Youth Work Curriculum

What is the Curriculum?

A curriculum is defined as a programme of study. In youth work it is a philosophical concept surrounding the truths, principles and morals of life which assists young people to become more socially, politically and culturally aware through a process known as Social Education.

What does the youth work curriculum include?

In order to meet the needs of all young people, the youth service curriculum must be broad and provide opportunities for progression. The youth service matrix identifies what is delivered at each youth provision.

What are the issues that affect young people?

In order to develop a broad, balanced and effective curriculum that will assist young people during the transition into adulthood it is essential that we are aware of the issues of concern and interest to them.
