Adolescents
For teenagers and young adults, there are many ways to spend their free time.
Young people are looking for entertainment and activities. Youth work offers a wide range of leisure activities, projects and information. It is very important to exchange ideas with friends while playing, doing sports and having fun.
You can ask the municipal office, school or church what services are available nearby.
Also, search the internet for additional opportunities.
Most municipalities offer a meeting place for young people. The young people have their own room at their disposal to meet and have fun together. The youth club is run by supervisors.
Youth clubs are open to everyone, regardless of their background or group or clique.
Examples of meeting places for young people in the municipalities/regions:
Contacts of child and youth work
