Research and Practice in Dialogue - International Youth Work
„Research and Practice in Dialogue“ (RPD) is an international network that promotes the interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral exchange between research and practice in the fields of International Youthwork and Child and Youth Travel since 1989. It is supported and monitored by transfer e.V., a non-profit organization in the field of child and youth welfare based in Cologne, Germany. The activities of RPD are funded by the Federal ministry for Family affairs, Senior citizens, Woman and Youth (BMFSFJ).
Current issues and operational needs are addressed through collaborative projects and concepts. The network's activities play a significant role in contributing to the professional development of the respective fields of action.

How is International Youth Work structurally established in different countries? What biographical decisions and motivations have led to activity in the field of International Youth Work? Which importance is attributed to the field of International Youth Work by society as a whole? These were questions discussed in two year small scale research project "International Narratives and Rationales in International Youth Work".
The networking event will address the mentioned questions by looking at the samples Poland, Portugal, Tanzania, Turkey and USA. We also want to reflect on individual perspectives, perceptions, and blind spots in international exchange. All interested actors from the field of International Youth Work and related fields are invited.
