Abstract

IN ENGLISH: As the analysis of focus groups and survey data shows, youth workers and youth work organisers believe that the provision of non-formal Introduction: education, learning and practice of youth work under the lens Page 13 learning opportunities to youth workers is far from perfect. Many interviewees and survey respondents pointed out a range of factors which hamper the provision of learning opportunities to youth workers, who in general are very eager to learn. Among the challenges mentioned were lack of financial and organisational resources, lack of long-term educational and development strategies for youth workers within organisations and generally in the youth work sector, lack of recognition of youth work and of youth worker learning, poor social guarantees and low job security. Importantly, European initiatives and institutions play a significant role in supporting the development of youth work training and education by helping to build competence frameworks and providing organisational and financial support to youth workers, youth work organisers and educators. A lot could be done on many levels to improve the provision of non-formal training for youth workers. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Kao što pokazuje analiza kvantitativnih i kvalitativnih podataka, omladinski radnici i organizatori rada s mladima vjeruju da su neformalno učenje i praksa daleko od optimalnog. Mnogi su sudionici intervjua i kvantitativnog istraživanja naglasili širok raspon čimbenika koji priječe organiziranje i pružanje mogućnosti za neformalno učenje omladinskim radnicima, koji su generalno gledano voljni učiti. Neki od navedenih izazova su: manjak financijskih i organizacijskih sredstava, manjak dugoročnih obrazovnih i razvojnih strategija za omladinske radnike u organizacijama i udrugama, te ono što je značajka omladinskog sektora u cjelini - poteškoće u priznavanju omladinskog rada i učenja omladinskih radnika, niska socijalna sigurnost i nesigurnost poslova omladinskih radnika. Vrlo je važno napomenuti i kako europske inicijative i institucije igraju značajnu ulogu u pružanju potpore i razvoju obrazovanja i treninga za omladinske radnike putem pomoći u usvajanju okvira kompetencija i pružanja organizacijske i financijske potpore omladinskih radnicima, organizatorima rada s mladima i edukatorima. No, treba dodati kako još uvijek preostaju mnogi koraci kako bi se poboljšalo pružanje prilika za neformalan trening i učenje omladinskih radnika.
