Objectives
The "Trialog health literate youth work“ is the next step in the development of health literacy in (open) youth work. The project has three target groups: young people, staff members of open youth work and municipalities.
The project aims to strengthen health and climate competences of young people, youth workers and municipalities with specific methods. These methods can be applied separately or in combination and may be used independently by the youth workers and the municipalities. They are related to the nine criteria of health literate youth work and thus allow for an enrichment of the standards in practice.
During the 20 months of the project, the methods are developed, tested and described for the "Trialog health literate youth work“. Practitioners of open youth work and representatives of municipalities are involved in the development and description of the methods from the beginning. The aim of this are methods that can be applied independently by the practitioners also after the end of the project. It is planned to implement the "Trialog health literate youth work" as a standard element of health literate open youth work in Austria.
Implementation
Three sets of methods that are developed and implemented in the project are the "Trialog health literate youth work". Each target group has its own set of methods that can be applied individually or in combination – once combined they represent the "Trialog".
queraum supports the project in all steps – above all in the development and implementation of the sets of methods for young people and staff members of open youth work.
The project is coordinated by bOJA (bundesweites Netzwerk Offene Jugendarbeit) and implemented together with queraum and Hallo Klima!.
