Professional development for newcomers and career changers in youth services

This professional development course is perfect for you if you want to better support and guide young people in difficult situations.

Working in youth services is challenging and demanding. It requires knowledge of pedagogical approaches and methods, as well as legal frameworks, to provide appropriate support to young people and their guardians. This professional development program builds upon existing experience and explores various topics in youth services through both theory and practice. You will learn to reflect on your own pedagogical work and to collaborate professionally within a team.
