Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice -- and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding...
Today i presented a whistlestop tour of #youthwork in the UK to @TheCFEY team, including a look at funding... The headlines around closed youth centres and lost youth work jobs are pretty bleak, but i hadn't fully wrapped my head around some of the numbers until recently... 1/
Money for youth work has been being cut for over a decade. Since 2010, all regions in England have lost at least 60% of their funding for youth services, and some have lost all of it. Over 4,500 youth work jobs have been cut and 750 youth centres closed. 2/

Indeed, @KODLyons in their Human Rights Blog series outline the observations by Dr Carol Coulter and @MariaLCorbett of @ChildLawProject on "Concerns for Vulnerable Children Arising from the Covid-19 Pandemic"
Glad to see new guidance published in the last few days on using #restorativepractices online (virtual circles) to support students and colleagues through #COVID19. There is, it turns out, much we can do virtually at this time... (Thread)
I've participated in two weekly virtual circles, facilitated by @EmmaAWheatley. These have focused on helping youth workers and others in North-East Inner City Dublin discuss their challenges and finds ways to support young people in this time. #youthwork #Dublin #NEIC
This week, I'll facilitate virtual circles to check-in with our second- and third-year undergrad #criminology students @MaynoothUni @MaynoothLaw. We'll see if virtual circles can help regain some of the connection we've lost by not being on campus together.
The Offensive Weapons Bill is due its second reading in the @UKHouseofLords this afternoon. Listen to the debate here: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/16… and read our briefing here: scyj.org.uk/wp-content/upl… #youthjustice #knifecrime
Lord Paddick, Liberal Democrats questions whether the proposed law on corrosive substance possession - which removes requirement of intent to cause harm - is being introduced because govt believes it will be effective, or because they "just want to be seen to be doing something"
Lord Paddick goes on to discuss harm and ineffectiveness of short sentences. Watch here: goo.gl/qFBDQK #offensiveweaponsbill #youthjustice #knifecrime
