The Power of Reflection in Youth Work

Innhold

The importance of reflection in the learning process cannot be overestimated. Without reflection, learning turns into a mere action and with reflection any experience in our lives can be turned into a learning. Through reflection we analyse and create the meaning of our experiences, link our behaviours to underlying attitudes, increase awareness of ourselves, make connections with our past and future.

“Reflective learning is a process that involves self-examination, where youth workers evaluate their practices and identify areas for growth and improvement. It offers a transformative opportunity for both personal and professional development, enabling youth workers to develop a deeper understanding of the young people they work with and design more effective programmes. To facilitate this process for themselves, youth workers can employ various methods of reflective learning.” 
﻿Read the full article by Matteo Bartolini on Reflective Learning for Youth Workers.
