In this episode we talked with Nerijus Kriauciunas, an international trainer in the field of youth. Nerijus is really a reference when it comes to connecting the digital world to youth work on the field. We started talking about his personal journey into youth work and how that shaped what he does today. in the beginning Nerijus connects references like Paulo Freire on Education and critical thinking with Mcluhan on Media literacy, which I find really interesting. Than we discussed a bit how he sees innovation in the field of youth and we identified possible barriers that might be stopping youth workers to become more innovative. Finally Nerijus left some really precious tips on digital tools that you might want to consider if you work directly with young people. It was a real pleasure to have him on the show. So get ready… let's talk youth work.
