In our project we defined the proces of forming and organizing the youth centre. We were dealing with phases of forming the goals of a centre, sharing the work obligations within the members of a club and the process of performing activities. We also preformed interwievs with organizers of different youth cloubs and we made comparisons beetwen the different ways of organizing.
The aim of our research was to clarify the basic procedure every youth center has to go through during its forming phase.
