Policy/legal framework

There is no policy or legal framework relating specifically to youth work to foster social inclusion. However, youth work is generally understood as a means of fostering social inclusion through open meeting places and social arenas where children and young people from all social groups can meet and participate on equal terms.

Main inclusive Youth-Work programmes and target groups

There are no programmes funded or organised by top level authorities.

Youth work providers in the field of social inclusion for young people

For information about youth work providers please go to 10.2 Administration and governance of youth work.

Training and support for youth workers engaged in social inclusion programmes

The Directorate of Health has funded the development of “Youth leadership” which is a course offered by Youth Work Norway [Ungdom og Fritid]. The training emphasises  the role of clubs and youth centres as inclusive meeting places that actively use participation to increase young people's well-being and experience of mastery and belonging.
