Drawing on the thought of Cornelius Castoriadis, the author outlines eight essential elements needed to bring about a renewal in the sense of purpose in youth work. Youth workers must strive to be ...critical thinkers. Youth workers must be authentic democrats. They need to question the absurdity of unaccountable and unrecallable representation, symbolised by today's parliamentary democracy. Youth workers must be sincere ecologists. Youth workers worth their salt need to think anew about how they interpret their own and young people's "behaviour." Youth workers must struggle against the widely held view that it is the Executive, whether they be David Cameron or his clone, Nick Clegg, Richard Branson or Alex Ferguson, who hold the key to success. Youth workers must face up to their own mortality. Youth workers must try to breathe fresh life into pedagogy. Finally, youth workers must be philanthropists not misanthropists.
