BA in Community Youth Work Dundalk Institute of Technology (DKIT)

Program Description

This course supports the development of youth work practitioners as professionals, with an enhanced understanding of societal impacts on young people. Emphasis on human rights, social justice, and equality are central themes within the modules. Combined with developing desired skill sets such as IT, programme development, and understanding sociology, psychology, and relationships, this course aims to educate youth workers with critical, essential skills for the youth work setting. Youth Work has a keen sense of working with young people on their developmental, recreational, social, and educational attainment in a non-formal setting complementary to other educational and training programmes. Students develop empathetic skills in sociology, psychology and community development whilst experiencing two different forms of work placement in community settings.
