pleasure, and desire, by strengthening their self-esteem, by examining values and ideologies, or simply by community experiences during individual activities. Finally, their services range also from problem intervention for young persons, who are already affected by one or more risk areas and for whom they offer counselling and personal support, to offers for a sheltered and support-oriented environment. Nowadays there is a growing recognition that extracurricular youth education can (among other services and offers) sustainably promote the type of basic and key competences that are increasingly understood as preparation for working life and a general enhancement of “employability”. b) International youth work 2 : International youth work consists of professionally guided activities in professionally organised and settings related to international contexts. It provides to young people from different countries, ethnic backgrounds and cultures with opportunities to meet and to reflect the experiences made in the intercultural dimension and to widen their cultural knowledge and enhance their personal skills (i.e. interaction, communication and understanding). International youth work consisting of extracurricular educational opportunities and leisure time activities is regularly provided during holiday and vacation time c) Open youth work 3 : Open youth work provides a space (e.g. youth centre or youth club) which is principally open to all young people from the local community or territory. In most cases, the space (and the time, i.e. programme) is only partly pre-structured by youth workers and is supposed to be actively appropriated by the young people themselves. Leisure time activities cover a great part of open youth work, but they are also the context in which other social and educational tasks (also for marginalised groups) and outreaching activities are realised. d) Participation and peer education 4 : Participation is about having the right, the means, the space, the opportunity and, where necessary, the support to participate in and influence decisions and engage in actions and activities so as to contribute to building a better society. Actions designed to promote youth participation include different approaches to becoming an active citizen for instance 'taking an active role both in the development of one's own environment, at local, national and European level'. They provide opportunities for group effort toward a common goal; involve youngsters in responsible, challenging action that meets genuine needs, with opportunities for planning and/or decision-making. Youth associations play a central role in the provision of opportunities for participation and peer education. They provide non-formal and informal 2 3 4 26 see: http://www.training-youth.net/INTEGRATION/TY/Publications/tkits/tkit4.html; www.dija.de, Modul “Interkulturelles Lernen” See: IARD Study on the State of Young People and Youth Policy in Europe, January 2001, part IV, page 130 see: IARD Study on the State of Young People and Youth Policy in Europe, January 2001, part IV, page 130
education, primary prevention and social integration opportunities, space for conviviality and social model learning from peers. With their range of profiles youth associations offer different possibilities for identification as their work is optional, voluntary, self-organised, lobbying the interests of youngsters and value-based. e) Prevention of social exclusion/youth social work 5 : Youth work aimed at the prevention of social exclusion encompasses counselling, support, education, training and employment opportunities for socially disadvantaged and/or individually impaired young people to support their social integration, their formal education and their integration into the labour market and/or adult life. f) Recreation 6 : Play, recreation and leisure services encourage and facilitate young people`s effective use of their leisure time. Leisure time activities may include games, sports, cultural events, entertainment and community service and aim to contribute to the development of the physical, intellectual and potential development of young people. These activities provide youth specific socialisation opportunities as well as space and opportunities to appropriate youth life in modern structured places. Recently prevention and recreations aspects have gained specific importance as they provide young people living under difficult conditions i.e. poverty recuperation and regeneration opportunities. g) Youth Counselling 7 : Youth counselling addresses young people and their youth-specific questions and problems. It provides them with information and support based on professional counselling techniques and trespass-management to other institutions. Counselling can cover school problems, career management and insertion into the labour market, crisis intervention in partnership or family-related problems, health and legal issues. It can be provided “on the doorstep”, in specific counselling agencies or by telephone, e-mail or Internet. h) Youth information 8 : Youth information consist of comprehensive, coherent and coordinated information services that take account of the specific needs of young people and are youth friendly and economically accessible. They are provided by youth information centres or services and disseminated through all information channels, particular those most frequently used by 5 6 7 8 see: IARD Study on the State of Young People and Youth Policy in Europe, January 2001, part IV, page 128 see: IARD Study on the State of Young People and Youth Policy in Europe, January 2001, part IV, page 134; World Programme of Action for Youth to the year 2000 and beyond, Resolution Adopted by the General Assembly (A/50/728, 13 March 1996), United Nations, page 23 see: IARD Study on the State of Young People and Youth Policy in Europe, January 2001, part IV, page 131 see: ERYICA, European Youth Information Charter, 2004 27
