Professional support for youth workers
Excellent youth work is committed to continuous knowledge upgrading and self-exploration. As a result, we organise regular, practical, and up-to-date professional trainings for youth workers, students, and volunteers involved in the Ljubljana Network of Youth Centres. The topics of education are tailored to the needs and problems they face in their work and equip participants with the tools necessary for quality youth work. They are intended to increase knowledge, improve understanding of young users, and, on the other hand, relieve youth workers.
Youth workers are also supported when they encounter more difficult problems in their work, such as risky behaviour by young people, mental distress, domestic violence, and abuse. Intervision meetings, individual conversations, and counsellor visits to youth centres are the most effective ways of working with young people. We create assistance plans for young individuals, incorporating governmental and non-governmental organisations as necessary.
