Street social work in Hellersdorf
This project is more than 20 years old. In 1992 the government of the Federal Republic of Germany initiate the programme «We're against aggression and violence». Berlin's district Hellersdorf was given wage-rates for this. The basis of the project became youth work «without barriers» - creation of space for young people where the experience of friendship and self-determination, inconflictive partnership are possible. Social pedagogues focalized their activity on the streets and basements, where the clubs for the youth were opened. These places became meeting points for the youth. This experience was reproduced later in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities. It deserves to be talked about and it's interesting in its methods of youth work.
