Leisure and youth pedagogy - A supplement or a foundation for children and young people’s everyday life?

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperResearchpeer-review

Abstract

This presentation focuses on the pedagogical work with children and young people in leisure and youth clubs in the Danish welfare state, which, among other things, is characterized by offering leisure pedagogical activities to all children and young people, regardless of social background, after school hours, in the afternoon and evening. In this context, leisure pedagogical activities include leisure and youth clubs, physically located in institutional contexts, in which afternoons and evenings are organized and managed by pedagogical staff as voluntary activities for children and young people outside and after school.

Based om the above, this presentation focuses on exploring the impact on participation in leisure and youth clubs, seen from the perspectives of both children, young people, and pedagogues (Dreier, 2004). Exploring the impact is about following and maintaining what seems important and why, but also about exploring how this significance is closely connected to the lives of children and young people across different and simultaneous contexts (Højholt, 2018; Lagermann, 2024 in press; Petersen 2024 in press).
