Past Webinars and Major Events under YouthPower Learning - 2020 and older
One of YouthPower Learning’s transformative impacts was its ability to create a collaborative space that transcends organizational and sector siloes. Through this space, a vibrant global community of youth development practitioners has flourished with the shared aim of advancing PYD work.
A key piece of this work entailed convening the community around key concepts, new evidence, and important resources, and providing a common ground for discussion and co-creation.
Over the life of the project, YouthPower Learning organized more than 150 major events and webinars, many of which were recorded and captured on this page, as well as more than 160 program tools, resources, and research. Download the full list of YouthPower Learning Webinars and Major Events.
