In August 2025 a delegation from the Korea Youth Work Agency will be visiting New South Wales. Youth work has a high profile in South Korea, featuring legal recognition under the Youth Activities Promotion Act, a National Qualification for Youth Workers, and a number of national resource centres for engaging young people, especially around sustainability and the environment. Check out the website on https://www.kywa.or.kr.

The delegation is particularly interested in a conversation about working with young people in the digital space: how we provide effective and ethical services online, and how we work with young people around their safety and wellbeing in online environments. This conversation has immediate relevance in the light of the impending social media ban for under 16s in Australia.

To facilitate this conversation, Western Sydney University's Bachelor of Youth Work programme and the Young and Resilient Research Centre, Youth Action and Youth Work NSW, with the Korea Youth Work Agency are bringing together a seminar on digital youth work. The seminar offers an opportunity to bring together youth advocates, youth workers, academics and researchers to share knowledge about this critical area of youth work practice and also to connect with exciting developments in youth work in this part of South East Asia.

Participation is free.
