Pristopi in metode dela mladinskih uličnih delavcev : diplomsko delo

Kobe, Maruška (author), Poštrak, Milko (mentor)

V diplomski nalogi sem raziskovala pristope in metode dela, ki jih mladinski ulični delavci uporabljajo na terenu. V teoretičnem delu se osredotočim na pojem »mladi« in ga opredelim z več vidikov. Nato razložim, s čim se mladi spopadajo danes, pred katere izzive in tveganja so postavljeni in kakšne spremembe doživljajo. Naslednji vidik je življenjski svet mladostnika in dejavniki odraščanja. V nadaljevanju razložim pomen pojma »prosti čas«, njegov vpliv na vsakdan mladostnika. Prosti čas povežem s subkulturami, ki se v njem razvijejo, delujejo in so ključne za razumevanje dela z mladimi. Sledi razlaga mladinskega dela, njegovih načel in značilnosti. Na podlagi tega povezujem socialno delo z mladinskim in opredelim koncepte, ki so za mladinskega delavca uporabni v povezavi s stroko. Nadaljujem z opredelitvijo mladinskega uličnega dela. Dotaknem se definicije ulice, javnih površin, modelov in pristopov na ulici, faz uličnega dela in razložim ulično delo kot metodo dela z mladimi. V kvalitativni raziskavi sem z intervjuji raziskovala, katere pristope in metode dela največ uporabljajo mladinski ulični delavci. Med mojimi vprašanji so bili tudi vplivi izobrazbe in sodelavcev na njihove pristope ter odzivi mladih, ukrepanje ob negativnih odzivih in raziskovanje izboljšav pristopov. Poleg tega sem mladinske ulične delavce spraševala o vzpostavljanju novih terenov in navezovanju prvih stikov z mladimi. Raziskava je pokazala, da so pristopi in metode dela raznoliki, a vedno v skladu z interesi in potrebami mladih na ulici. Ekipe mladinskih uličnih delavcev se načrtovano lotijo vzpostavljanja novih terenov z raziskavami potreb mladih in okolice. Njihovi nameni so kvalitetno preživljanje prostega časa mladih, spodbujanje zdravega življenjskega sloga, zmanjševanje škodljivih posledic uporabe alkohola in drog, informiranje mladih o storitvah mladinskega sektorja in skupnostno delo. Vzpostavljanje terena se pri vseh začne z opazovanjem na lokaciji, prve stike z njimi pa navezujejo s pomočjo različnih sprožilcev, ki so lahko družabne igre, žoge in ostali pripomočki. Pogovor je najpogosteje uporabljena metoda dela, ki zahteva zaupanje mladostnika in hkrati gradi odnos. Mladinski ulični delavci vidijo potrebo po rednem izobraževanju za izpopolnjevanje pristopov, predvsem pa kontinuirano delo na terenu z mladimi.

• Title: Approaches and methods of street youth workers

Abstract

In this graduate thesis I research the approaches and methods that street youth works use on the field. In the theoretical part, I begin with the explanation of the term »young people«. I then focus on the struggles, risks and changes that youngsters go through every day. I discuss the living circumstances and influences affecting the youngsters growing up. I explain the concept of »free time« and what it brings to the youth. I then relate free time to subcultures that occur and develop in it, as well as play a big role in understanding the youth. I also talk about youth work in general, its characteristics and principles. I connect methods that youth workers use with specific concepts found in social work. I conclude by summarizing and defining the precise explanation of street youth work models and phases, as well as explain how it is useful when working with youth. In my qualitative research, I interview street youth workers to find out which approaches and methods they use most often. I inquire what influences their methods most and how formal education and coworkers affect their work. We also discuss how the youth reacts to the street youth workers and how the street youth workers respond particularly when they are rejected by the youth. We also touch on the subjects of method improvements and how the street youth workers perceive them. The research shows that street youth workers use very diverse methods, but nevertheless always have the youths’ needs and interests in mind. The street youth work teams always plan in advance how to approach new fields. Their first step is always the research of needs and surfaces. Their purposes are diverse, but mostly work on the quality od free time, healthy and active way of living, informing the youth about different services, community work and also the increase of harmful consequences of alcohol and drugs use. The first contact with the fields is made by observing the community and initial connections with youth are mostly made with some kind of a trigger, like board games and sport activities. The most used method when developing relationships with youth is conversation. Street youth workers are always looking for development, but are mostly working on continuity.
