Why have political, social or environmental causes often been behind the origin and evolution of youth organisations? Have other ideas been influential too? Why have some organisations expanded well beyond their countries of origin? To what extent have they held firm to their original values and raison d'eătre, and to what extent have they adapted and evolved in changing circumstances? How have they related to youth policy or youth work agendas? How vulnerable have they been to ideology, context or political influences? Which of their characteristics have persisted over time? These are some of the questions that are explored in this book, which draws on contributions from the last seminar on the history of transnational youth organisations and their relation to youth work today. This book has three parts. The first part explores the evolution of transnational youth organisations and movements over the past 100 years. The second part adds two more country histories of youth work to the body of knowledge already established in earlier volumes in the series. The third and final part focuses on 12 "trilemmas" and reflections that have emerged from the 10-year History of Youth Work in Europe project. This anchors an invitation to the youth work community of practice to consider and debate each trilemma, independently and in relation to each other, in the context of both the local environments of youth work delivery and across the wider European youth policy context, in anticipation of the 3rd European Youth Work Convention.
