Pedagogues in leisure-time pedagogy

Pedagogues' work with children and youth in leisure-time pedagogy

  • In what ways do the pedagogues and leisure-time pedagogy have an impact on the wellbeing, development and life opportunities of children and youth?

About the project

This project explores pedagogues’ work with children and youth in leisure-time centers/SFO as well as leisure and youth clubs with a focus on pedagogues’ work in leisure-time pedagogy and the impact of the well-being of children and youth, including the professional identity and special competencies of the pedagogues in supporting and preventing children and youth in dissatisfaction. The research project relates to two simultaneous themes in BUPL's research fund, respectively the leisure-time pedagogy as well as the pedagogues’ work with the wellbeing of children and youth.
