V diplomskem delu sem raziskovala vpliv dnevnega centra Naj mladih ne vzgaja ulica Jesenice na življenjski svet nekdanjih uporabnikov. Poleg tega me je zanimalo, kakšne so razlike med delovanjem dnevnega centra, katerega del so bili do leta 2013 moji sogovorniki in sogovornice, ter njegovim sedanjim delovanjem. Raziskava je razdeljena na pet glavnih tem: prvi stik nekdanjih uporabnikov z dnevnim centrom, njihovo obiskovanje dnevnega centra, življenjski svet uporabnikov, ideje nekdanjih uporabnikov za razvoj programa in razlike v delovanju dnevnega centra. Rezultati raziskave prikazujejo dnevni center kot pomemben varovalni dejavnik v življenjskem svetu nekdanjih uporabnikov. Uporabniki so skozi vključenost v aktivnosti, druženje in dogajanje v dnevnem centru pridobili številne pozitivne spremembe na področju osebnostnega razvoja, izobraževanja, socialne mreže. To jim ni koristilo le v času otroštva in mladostništva, ampak tudi v sedanjem življenju. Dnevni center je nekdanjim uporabnikom predstavljal varen prostor, v katerem so bili pozitivno sprejeti in kjer so razvijali prijateljstva. Zaposlenim dnevnega centra so lahko zaupali in se nanje zanesli. Razvijali so svojo osebnost, od zaposlenih pa so prejeli številne nasvete za življenje, ki jih uporabljajo še danes. Delovanje dnevnega centra se s pomočjo zaposlenih prilagaja uporabnikom in okolici. Vključujejo nove dejavnosti, delovanje programa se širi na druge lokacije na Gorenjskem, delovni čas je fleksibilen. Vse to z namenom večjega zadovoljstva otrok in mladostnikov ter njihove okolice.

• Title: Daily Care Centre for Children and Youth as a Protective Factor of Users' Lives

Abstract

The purpose of my graduation thesis is to explore the effects of the Naj mladih ne vzgaja ulica Jesenice daily care centre on the life of its former users. Furthermore, I also concentrated on exploring the differences between the operation of the daily care centre until the year of 2013 and its present operation. The research is divided into five main subjects: former users’ initial contact and experience with the daily care centre, their attendance of its program, users’ life world, ideas for the development of the program, and the differences in operation of the daily care centre then and now. The research shows that the daily care centre was and still is an important protective factor for the former users. Through participation in activities of the daily care centre its users saw positive changes in their personal, educational, and social aspects of their lives, which they consider as an important benefit not only during their childhood and adolescence, but also in their current lives. Daily care centre provided its former users a safe place, where they felt welcome and encouraged to develop new friendships. They felt as they could trust and rely on daily care centre employees. The users were able to refine their personalities and receive important life advice from the daily care centre’s employees. Employees of the daily care centre are tasked with adjusting and maintaining the activities and operation of the daily care centre in accordance with the user and surrounding environment needs. They are adding new activities, its operation is being expanded throughout the Gorenjska region, they have flexible working hours. All with the intention of making the youth and the surrounding environment happier.
