开放式青年工作是一种非正式教育的做法，在各种空间运作，从青年俱乐部和社区中心到街角。本文重点介绍了这些设置的独特空间性，它们对年轻人生活的宝贵贡献，以及它们是如何由参与者积极创造和策划的。植根于青年人和青年工作者谁参加了为期三年的定性研究，在英格兰的八个青年工作环境的角度，它提出，开放的青年工作可以提供一个关系，教育，并可能解放的“第三位”超越家庭，学校和工作。研究发现，青年工作为青年人提供了一个时空流动的场所，使他们能够归属、结社、理解并对他们所生活的不平等环境采取行动。我们主张对青年工作的独特空间方面进行更多的批判性反思，包括青年工作与儿童和青年地理之间的更多接触。除了对青年工作实践和培训产生影响外，这种参与还可以支持在压迫和不平等的背景下为儿童和青年人设想各种各样的“第三避难所”和关键的民主。
Open youth work is a practice of informal education that operates in a variety of spaces, from youth clubs and community centres to street corners. This article highlights the distinctive spatiality of these settings, their valuable contribution to young people’s lives, and how they are actively created and curated by those involved. Rooted in the perspectives of young people and youth workers who took part in a three-year qualitative study in eight youth work settings in England, it proposes that open youth work can provide a relational, educational, and potentially liberatory ‘third place’ beyond home, school and work. The research found that youth work provides young people with spatially and temporally fluid places for belonging, association, and understanding and acting on the unequal contexts in which they live. We argue for more critical reflection on the distinctivelyspatialaspects of youth work, including more engagement between youth work and the geographies of childhood and youth. As well as having implications for youth work practice and training, this engagement could support the (re-)imagining of a wide range of ‘third places’ of refuge and critical democracy for children and young people, in a context of oppression and inequalities.
