Youth centres

The youth clubs operate in premises attached to the primary schools. There, children and teenagers have facilities for leisure activities and socialising with their peers in a safe environment. The work has a preventative, educational and developmental value and takes into account the age and maturity of children and teenagers. Activities take place in clubs, committees, group work, open sessions and through short-term projects.

Emphasis is placed on offering a variety of activities and reaching those children and young people who need social support.
