Dear Youthgas,
This is just to let you know that the April 2008 edition of the
newsletter, "Youth Field Xpress" published by the Australian
Clearinghouse for Youth Studies (ACYS) has been issued. The online
version's at:
http://www.acys.info/publications/newsletter/current_edition
If you want to subscribe to the email edition, send a message to join-
yfx@edna.edu.au
If you want to contribute news to the next edition, do contact me
before 12 May 2008. Because the newsletter goes out nationally news
items need to be of more than local interest; items need to be very
short with contact details and must be of interest to youth
researchers, youth workers or those involved in some way with work
with young people. Overseas news is also welcomed. Thanks everyone,
cheers
Anne Hugo
