Qualification Profile for Youth Work
- Child and youth work is an important field of socialisation for children and adolescents, which offers them possibilities for self-created, diverse educational processes. Voluntary work is still a significant characteristic of youth work, but at the same time it has been a socio-pedagogical field of work for quite some time and it would be impossible without full-time professionals. The fields of activity of full-time professionals include areas such as local community and communal youth welfare, open youth work and youth work in clubs, street work and mobile youth work or also the work at adventure and active playgrounds, in youth education institutes and youth associations. The professionals face similar challenges in all these areas of action. On the one hand, they result from the increased social expectations regarding youth work. On the otherhand, they result from the specifics of youth work. At the same time, they are the decisive context for the socio-pedagogical competences required in the field of youth work.

The present Qualification Profile for Youth Work takes this perspective and frames the competence requirements that are expected from full-time professionals in youth work today. The strategic partnership in the framework of the EU program "Erasmus + Youth in Action" "Qualified Youth Workers for Europe” is also related to the Qualification Profile for Youth Work.…
