Seminar on “Street-Based Youth Work”

On December 02-04, 2014, within the frameworks of the mobile youth work project implemented in the Dnipro District of Kyiv by the Structural Subdivision of the German-Polish-Ukrainian Society in Ukraine in partnership with the German organisation Aktion Mensch, took place the first seminar on “Street-Based Youth Work: Clarification of Terms, Introduction to the Concept, and Assessment System”.

Among participants were social workers, psychologists, lawyers, and officials from the Dnipro District of Kyiv.

Professors Walther Specht and Werner Kübler, German experts from the International Society for Mobile Youth Work in Stuttgart, spoke on themes, that gave the participants a new insight into street-based work with persons facing vulnerabilities and Germany’s proprietary mobile work model. The participants also developed the toolkit for social area analysis in the Dnipro District of Kyiv.
