As I've mentioned in the first part, I am doing a work related with youth. After the first post I had so many questions about what exactely am I doing here, well this post will explain everything now.
I am working in an organizations known as Ungdom og Fritid (Youth and Leisure).
U&F is a National Youth Club organization, founded in 1978 as "The national council for youth clubs".
Today as an Umbrella Organization we have other member-organization, 617 youth and juniorclubs in all districts of Norway. We also count with apprx. 2500 employees and 50 000 youth members within the clubs.
I've been writing so many things about youth clubs, but not everybody knows what is it about. For those who never heard about this, I can briefly say that a youth club is a place where you:
…always are welcome…can meet friends
…don’t have to compete
…can get to know the youth culture
…a place you can get self-confidence
…a place where you can learn about democracy
…meet adults if you have problems or just want to talk
…don’t find drugs and alcohol
youth clubs in norway work based on a philosofy that this is a place where the youth has space to learn and have fun.
