Objectives

The care culture of an organization is a crucial need for the maintenance of equitable relationships and power structures, for quality youth work and its consolidation over time. This care requires analysis and this activity aims to dedicate time, space and work so that the entities working in the youth field take care into account in a broad sense of the word, as part of the daily and structural work approach. It is a call for the sustainability of life and the planet, placing it at the center of all social, community, economic and political processes through the ethics of care. The main objective of this proposal was to improve the quality of youth work in Europe (and specifically in the participating organizations) by reviewing the functioning of the organizations, identifying the aspects that lead to inequalities and proposing tools for transformation. This proposal had the following specific objectives: To create a common concept of what we understand as care. To detect and make visible the structural inequalities within the organizations. To sensitize and empower all the agents of the entities to promote organizational change from the ethics of care. To promote the ethics of care, as well as inclusion and diversity in the organization. To diagnose in a participative way the state of the ethics of care and the perspective of equity in the organizations. To consult indicators and provide tools for daily work with young people. To allow youth workers to exchange and acquire professional competencies to work on care in all areas and projects of the participating organizations (approach, design, implementation...). To reduce barriers for people with fewer opportunities to participate in organizations on equal terms. Facilitate tools for change and the construction of the reality of youth work in which we wish to live.
