Stories
A Collection of Youth Work Theories and Practice
The Purpose behind Stories is to provide accessible research and practice stories that support practitioners and organisations to embed a lens of the Circle of Mana into practice.
Each quarter, a new peer-reviewed article will be released onto this platform written by a Praxis team member or friend that connects the essence of our Praxis Ideas and the Circle of Mana.

“The Circle of Mana challenges practitioners to move beyond seeing a young person as the object of our practice and recognise how they interact with their world, and value what they bring to the youth work relationship. ”
