What Contribution can Youth Work make to Tackling Sectarianism?

The Story of Looking Forward Not Back

The Looking Forward Not Back (LFNB) project was developed and delivered by YouthLink Scotland in partnership with young people and youth workers from five youth work organisations across Scotland. It was funded by the Scottish Government as part of the wider Tackling Sectarianism programme which aims to challenge and change attitudes to sectarianism in Scotland through local action. It afforded an opportunity for YouthLink Scotland to support the active participation of youth work organisations and young people in addressing sectarianism in their own communities and to examine and generate evidence of the contribution of a youth work approach in this context.

This report will explain what we did in LFNB, why we did it, how we did it and what we found.
