Abstract or Description

It can be difficult for researchers to engage young people to tell stories about their lives. This paper considers how former service users of a youth work project in North-West Ireland
unexpectedly employed objects on display in an agency meeting room to tell stories of transformative youth work encounters. The practical and symbolic functions of these objects in the lives of young people are outlined. The implications for social professional practice are highlighted.
