Society and the needs and interests of young people are constantly changing and due to this youth workers are constantly confronted with new questions and challenges. In order to be able to handle this youth workers need to have access to relevant and continuously updated information, education and training, as well as to time and space to discuss and digest this input and its consequences with their peers. The support of networking, peer learning and exchange is hence important elements in stimulating and supporting continuous competence development among youth workers.
