10/11/2021 Duração: 59minAre we capable of changing our opinions? As youth workers, are we obliged to revisit our long- held opinions, our values, our morals and how we see the world? And what has changed in the past couple of years for the lads, in their youth work journeys, in their lives beyond youth work and in their opinions about some of our most talked- about topics on the podcast? In this episode of YouthPod Ireland we reflect on the past and see if there has been any growth in our thinking. And we want you to not only listen but to do your own soul- searching and reflection as you join us for another episode of YouthPod Ireland.
