Staying in touch with young people and really getting to know them is essential for several reasons. First, it lets them know how much you care about them and that they matter. Secondly, it helps to build #agency within young people and helps them to find their voices. Third, it helps us to know about them so we can practice inquiry in ways that reflect youth’s #interests and #passions. Here are 5 #conversation starters you might find useful.
