Matthew’s destiny

Abstract

Working with young people, lecturing, researching and heading the Department of Youth and Community Studies at the University of Malta is a privilege. This department is focused on developing professional youth workers who can respond to the needs of young people a responsibility. I fathom but not without its concerns. Whilst I do not subscribe to the stereotypical thinking that young people have their head in the clouds, I do acquaint myself with the notion that this part of the life course is indeed crammed with storm and stress because of the copious transitions they have to deal with.
