How to strengthen the educational role of youth centers: a practical guide for teams

The war has changed everything, including the work of youth centers. In many regions of Ukraine, youth centers have become the only place where young people can receive offline educational services. The guidebook “Educational Programs of Youth Centers: Methodological Recommendations for the Development, Implementation, and Support of Programs” will help transform one-off events into systematic educational programs that respond to the new demands of young people in wartime.

What is this guide for?

The guide is designed for youth center teams seeking to strengthen the educational component of their activities. It will help structure their work without abandoning successful practices, but rather transforming them into long-term informal education programs.

What will you learn?

  • Practical advice on how to move from individual youth events to systematic educational programs. 
  • Real-life examples of youth centers that have successfully adapted to the challenges of wartime. 
  • How to build a high-quality educational program based on your expertise and gain community support.

The current challenge for youth centers is to become a space not only for meetings and entertainment, but also for obtaining high-quality informal education. This guide will help you respond to this challenge.
