On March 11, USAID and YouthPower Learning hosted a webinar on ‘Perspectives on Positive Youth Development.’
If you missed out, wish to watch it again, or have friends and colleagues who may be interested in learning more about Positive Youth Development (PYD) – you can access the webinar via this link.
PYD is a guiding principle of USAID’s Youth in Development Policy. But what exactly is PYD? How does it differ from traditional approaches to youth development? In what ways can you integrate PYD strategies into your own youth programming to improve outcomes in academic achievement, workforce readiness, positive health behaviours, increased civic engagement, and violence prevention?
These are just some of the questions that were answered during the one-hour webinar by PYD experts (and our very own Commission Chair) Prof George Patton (Professor of Adolescent Health Research University of Melbourne) and Kristin Brady (Director of FHI 360 Youth Department and USAID YouthPower Action).
