Sažetak
The research shows that young people support the idea of nonschool organised activities, as centres or clubs. The analysis of the needs shows that such a centre would significantly promote and alleviate the efforts in the direction of the young towards “positive” ways of organising their free-time. Such an organisation would advance the involvement of the young in the social community, but would also offer a help on an everyday basis (professional, social, psychological and pedagogical levels). Formation of such centres would produce a much wanted synergy of the pastoral care of the youth in parishes with diligent enthusiast, schools and civil sector in general. Would that not be the case, we will witness an expansion of the anarchistic movement of the young in the world and in our midst (Miliša, Z. 2009.). During the past two centuries most of Western European countries promoted the creation and development of specific initiatives known as “youth informative centres”, “youth advising agencies”, “youth services”, and similar. These programmes and structures were either based on local initiatives, or followed the stimulations coming from the state administration. During the last 50 years the French “Maison des jeunes et de la culture” proved itself as a rather successful model. Many associations, sports clubs and sections did not (e.g. in France) lessened the need for establishing of house for youth, so today in France there are more than 600 such houses. Decisive was the fact that the family and school formation, as well as the media did not show a sufficient efficiency in organising the free-time and failed to form a resistance to the influences of the street. Beside this, researches showed that idleness and negative influence of the media suppress the creative expression of the youth in their free-time activities. Encouraging the establishment of such institutions would create a new concept of the realisation of the true meaning of freedom and responsibility. The results of the last research promulgated by the authors of this work in May 2008, show that almost 11% of students sit more than 5 hours a day in front of the computer, 25% is more than 3 hours by the mobile phone, and 12% spend more than 5 hours in front of the television. This is the addiction to the media, that offer more manipulative than entertaining content, and determine the quality of the free-time of the youth. This is an extremely important argument supporting the theses that we need experts in the field of media pedagogy and their employment in school and non-school activities.
