Welcome to the Curriculum Development Unit

Who are we?

The Curriculum Development Unit was established in April 2002. The inter-board youth panel, supported by the youth service partnership, secured funding from the Department of Education’s Executive Programme Fund.

Representatives from the following organisations manage the unit:

 

 

Gilbert Bell (Chair) 

Inter-Board Youth Panel / NEELB 

John McCormick (Vice Chair) Youth Council NI

 

CDU Curriculum Development News - Summer 2010
Representatives include the Department of Education, YouthNet, C.C.E.A, YouthForum, Education and Library Boards, Youth Council and Education Training Inspectorate

What we do?
The unit focuses its work in several areas, but significantly, it works across the youth work sector in partnership with a wide range of youth work organisations. We recognise and value the diversity and interdependence of the youth sector and respect the range of approaches used in the personal and social development of young people. 

In summary the unit works with youth service partners to:

  • Raise awareness of Youth Work: A Model for Effective Practice

  • Explore models of youth work practice

  • Share examples of youth work practice

  • Develop and share resources
