Beskrivning

How do young people develop through youth arts programs and how can these programs reflect and extend young people’s personal interests? How can youth arts support participatory democracy and social change? Frances Howard puts forward a powerful case for the value of youth arts programs, whilst acknowledging and interrogating the complexities involved, including unequal access to provision and the class-based harm that can be inadvertently practiced within them. Drawing on the author's own practice experience, alongside a range of international case studies showing best practice, this grounded and accessible text will be welcome reading to academics, students and practitioners across Education, Youth and Community courses.

Recensioner i media

"Howard’s work in this book certainly marks a significant milestone within the discourse of youth work and arts and contributes to larger debates on development and social change through arts. Her templates provide a valuable direction to nudge the practitioners as well as the field to be responsive to the needs of context, thus emphasizing creativity, criticality, and sensitivity."
