Formations

- For example, Tumult works on non-violence among young people.
- Pimento gives courses and workshops on relationships and sexuality in youth work.
Mediaraven gives trainings on media.

Flanders has already taken steps, taken initiatives and started pilot projects, but especially from organisations (the Ambrassade) and youth movements themselves. The government's efforts to raise public awareness about the value of youth work are scarce.
