Learning platform

What do we actually want an activity to make possible? In We Are Streetwise youth work, activities are often a starting point rather than an end goal. Whether through sports, gaming or community events, the real aim is to create opportunities for connection, trust, learning and participation, helping young people take their next steps.

What are the five Streetwise steps actually for? The five steps of We Are Streetwise are not a checklist, but a framework. They make professional youth work more visible, helping practitioners, students and organisations learn from practice.

The neighbourhood Belsunce in Marseille is too often described by what it lacks, and young people learn to see it that way. In We Are Streetwise, young people and Contact Club start from what the neighbourhood holds instead. The Power of Place turns familiar streets into a source of talent, belonging and purpose.
