Been There Done That was a training course designed to address a difficult yet needed to discuss the issue of failures in youth work and project work. Within this project, we gathered our colleagues for an honest dialogue about the challenging points of youth work, and use diversity of professionals and organisational backgrounds to create as durable framework of reference of experiences and approaches for future youth work as possible. Alike many methodological handbooks, we wrote a book of painful experiences from actual projects, to help present colleagues all over the world and future specialists, to avoid common misjudgements and build on valuable experience, instead of facing the same pits, risking lose motivation for youth work when it doesn’t go as planned. The objectives of the project were: - To discuss the strengths and weaknesses of working in cross-sectoral cooperation while working with young people in urban/suburban areas, - To articulate the challenges of different environments and possibilities to turn a negative setting into a winning concept, - To discuss issues related to young people’s behaviour and relations that influence local youth work, - To share experiences and practices while working with young people in diverse environments and work out positive attitude towards mistakes, - To articulate matters and principles of sustainability of youth work, - To develop a constructive approach to all learning outcomes, inclusive negative experiences. - To increase youth workers competences in attracting young people from urban/suburban areas by sustainable means of youth work providing long term engagement and active participation of young people - To provide tools and network to support youth workers in their efforts to develop local youth work, - To facilitate the development of partnerships and new projects for young people in urban/suburban areas, - To create a network of youth workers and organisations working with young people, based on peer consulting and support, - To line up principles of constructive analysis or learning outcomes, in a format that can be presented on different levels during the dissemination of the project results. - To create “A book of songs” featuring various challenges on the journey of a youth worker.
