Information providers
The Czech Republic uses the Eurodesk network, which focuses on information concerning mobilities, non-formal educational activities for young people and international youth work.
There used to be a system of National Youth Information Centers, see details in chapter 6.9 'Awareness-raising about non-formal and informal learning'). However, through the educational policy transformation, the state system was cancelled since the 1st of January 2020.
From the state perspective are among the providers formal schooling facilities, leisure-based education facilities, partially expert semi-budgetary organizations as National Pedagogy Institute and the Czech National Agency for International Education and Research, and mainly NGOs dealing with Youth Work.
Key initiatives
Since 1st of September 2018, started a project of the National Institute for Further Education (since 1st of January 2020 The National Pedagogy Institute) called '"Interconnecting formal and Non-Formal, including Leisure-based education".
The main goal of the project is to support the cooperation between teachers and youth workers whos should perceive together as partners by the common goal of developing the competencies of Children and Young People.
The project period is 2018 - 2021 and the costs are covered by the EU ESF Fund and the state budget of the Czech Republic.
Among the outcomes linked to youth work awareness-raising, a publication and promo videos are in preparation.
No further specific initiatives focused on raising awareness about non-formal education and its forms are being organised by the state in the Czech Republic.
