Description

This course is the capstone for the Youth work and development pathway within the Bachelor of Youth and Community Leadership qualification. As such, students will be invited to reflect on their prior personal and professional experiences within the context of relevant literature on youth work with a particular focus on what this field consists of in Aotearoa New Zealand. By using an ako approach where we are all students and teachers/experts of our own experiences, the course will foster an environment of shared responsibility for learning and will create opportunities for each student to share their experiences both within and outside of the course. Within the course, students will engage with academic content, field experiences, guest speakers, and assessment tasks that pull it all together and provide a way for students to make a positive impact on the youth work sector. This will truly be an applied learning course designed to culminate the degree in a celebratory and meaningful way.
