“In a world of change, learners shall inherit the earth. While the learned shall find themselves perfectly equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.” – Eric Hoffman

What is the right answer? What solution is the best? What if there are more answers and solutions?
Being able to deal with ambiguity is crucial when it comes to international youth work. It means most of the time to deal with issues/ problems that doesn’t have a clear answer. It can mean as well being unclear about someone’s motivations or intentions, not knowing exactly where you stand within a group or organisation. 
Even though dealing with ambiguity might look scary it shouldn't frightened you. It is challenging but at the same time beautiful.  It supports learning that can lead in creating new ways, new opportunities for young people.
﻿
How to deal with ambiguity is a learning process it self. Is not about ticking boxes or having a do to list, but is more building a set of skills, attitudes and behaviors. It often means that we should learn how to be able to tolerate and manage change effectively, or to shift gears and change our course. Is about being curious on what is going on around us, listen to others and sense the environment and also to acknowledge what you know and what you don’t know. 
It often means that is ok to just let it go!
