My research has turned up lots of stuff from the States as you say but also from Australia. My own interest is in young people growing up in rural areas and how educational psychology could play a role. It seems that the LA implementation of the DCSF 10-year strategy may have missed the point a little in that it focuses a lot on activities for young people (great) but doesn't then make the link with how that might facilitate development, or who else might need to be involved to ensure that the links are made. It is in the DCSF paper but seems to have been overlooked a little. What are your thoughts? Rachel Hi Tim,

I agree with what I have read so far. My org. is YDRF and we have developed Youth Cultural Competence (YCC) . I would love to discuss how the two could operate in harmony. We are based in Maryland and Philadelphia but we travel all over the USA. check out our webpage at www.ydrf.com and write me back. How can I see the research paper?

Would be great to talk about this a bit when we catch up. I cross-posted a similar item over on the C&YPN blogs at http://community.cypnow.co.uk/blogs/tim_davies_on_youth_work/archive/2008/01/08/positive-youth-development-a-new-model-for-youth-policy.aspx and Tony Taylor has thrown in some interesting points - so certainly looks like we should get some good discussion going.

I think the positive development approach is very lacking in the current climate over here so great to see some work being done towards that. Really wish I could come to the launch - unfortunately its the date of our AGM in Derbyshire. I'll do my best to catch up with how it goes though when we get to meet up later that week - good luck to you both & of course if we can help towards anything that comes out of your launch we'll be very willing. Congratulations on this Tim :)
