Career Paths, Personal Growth and Belonging (The EYES Youth Knowledge Series, Book 8 of 8)

Book 8 of The EYES Youth Knowledge Series, an eight-book open collection whose topics were chosen by the young participants of the EYES Online Facilitated Discussions themselves (Session 11 feedback survey, 10 July 2026, "requested topics for future virtual exchanges"). Each book has eleven chapters: a research-led opening followed by a practical toolkit (case studies, exercises, templates, checklists), a glossary, 30–50 references and an evidence annex tracing every EYES figure to its primary dataset. It can be used as a 10–12 session local training programme by youth workers, trainers and youth organisations.

The record contains the English and the French edition (two PDFs).
