This video is a short extract from a lecture ‘ Young heads,Old Shoulders’ given to a conference of youth workers and educationalists in Hamburg.
It is included to illustrate some of the issues raised by translating issues from one national context and field of discourse to another. This Anglo-German dialogue on the Youth question was pursued further in the context of a collaborative research project looking at young people’s sense of place, and identity in London and Hamburg. The results were published in ‘Finding the Way’ by V & R Unipress in 2007. The methods used in this research are discussed in the video Methods in Dialogue/ Finding the Way Home.
