When Youth Workers Make All The Difference (with BSL) | Ghino Parker | TEDxLadbrokeGrove

Youth worker, Kurdish refugee, Academic, Londoner - in this TEDx talk, Ghino Parker highlights the all too often unrecognised profession of youth work, and the unsung heroes that have transformed so many lives. Ghino challenges the structures and systems we have designed that actively stifle the choices available to young people. She argues that we are far too comfortable with believing that the problem is with them, and not the paths their environment has prescribed. Alternative voices are needed for young people to find their alternative paths. With thanks to Love Language for providing BSL interpretation. Ghino is a Youth and Community strategist. She started out as a youth worker supporting female participation and inclusion for young people with special needs & disabilities.
As a young Kurdish refugee, she found a new home in London, and her formative experiences continue to inspire her work within communities. She holds a postgraduate qualification in Law and a MA in Applied Anthropology and hopes to continue research in the way language & stories shape our environment. Ghino has shaped youth engagement strategies to effect change within communities, both in the U.K. and abroad. She has also worked with the business sector to develop meaningful Social Responsibility models. Currently, Ghino is working to improve outcomes for those affected by serious youth violence. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
