Who are the innovators?

Who are the innovators in youth work contexts? Is it the worker, the young person or both? Where does the concept of innovation fit and how is this encouraged/discouraged etc?

Youth workers are often quite autonomous in relation to decisions about how to engage young people although with the push towards targetted work, this might become less easy.

In relation to using digital media, where are the innovators around participation and inclusion. Where are the examples? Who is doing this? It's not just about whether young people can send emails or go on Facebook. It's about critical consumption. Where is the innovation around this?
