Following on from our successful The Elephant in the Room webinar series in 2023, FYT are hosting a new season of webinars starting in January.
This year’s theme is Taking Risks in Youth Work. Join us to discuss a variety of topics around taking pioneering risks. This theme is a continuation of the discussion we brought to the National Youth Ministry Weekend in November 2023.
When and where?
The webinars are FREE and held on Zoom. There is no need to sign up, just turn up on the day. We would love for you to attend for the whole session, but dropping in for a short time is ok too.
We want to make the webinars as accessible as possible, therefore we are holding them over the lunchtime period on the last Wednesday of the month. We also will be taking notes on the content of the discussions to send out after the event and to those who can’t make it but still want to be involved.
How to join?
You can access the webinars on Zoom. We will be using the same Zoom link each time. See the login details here:
