CALL FOR PAPERS

In July 2021 Relational Child & Youth Care Practice will be publishing an issue on “The Stories of Our Experience in Working with Young People and Their Families.”

As human beings we are storytellers. It is hard to imagine an interaction with others that does not involve storytelling. As a field, story telling is a central focus of our learning – we tell each other stories of our experience, and we learn from these stories. Storytelling is, in many ways, a foundation of our learning experiences. And in the early days, it was all that we had.

We all have stories, or teaching tales, to tell – whether it be tales of early or emerging experiences in the field, or stories of the long-term experienced practitioner, they are stories of experience from which we all might learn. One might, for example, tell a story about how simply ‘hanging out’ with a young person made a difference or how ‘participating in a daily life event’ helped build a relationship of trust or, perhaps even how an intervention fell off the tracks or how an interaction helped us to understand ourselves better.

We would like to hear, and publish these stories of experience. They may be stories of success or stories about when we were not so effective or successful. The main point is that these will be stories of experience from which others may learn. They are, in essence, tales of teaching.

For this issue, for these stories -

• there is no minimum word count. For example, 1000 words is fine.
• the maximum word count is 2500 (excluding any references).
• deadline for receipt is April 30, 2021.
• stories can be in 1st or 3rd person.
• They may be stories of your experience, or stories from what you have observed.

The editors for this issue are comfortable with storytelling and would be pleased to help you work your story into a publishable format.
