Abstract
This book is for everyone out there who still wants to change the world. It provides a theoretical underpinning for community development and youth work practice which has as its aims individual and collective empowerment and social transformation. It equips practitioners to both critique and develop alternatives to top down, social planning models by providing them with a range of analytical and practice tools derived from the work of Paulo Freir. The book will provide practitioners with new and innovative ways to work with the National Occupational Standards for Youth Work and Community Development Work. It also introduces an alternative discourse to current policy debates: for example community regeneration, capacity building, social inclusion and the recent Community Development Challenge document from the Department of Communities and Local Government. This book is particularly needed now as many contemporary examples of practice fail to deliver increased participation, community empowerment or sustainable social change.
