Street education for young and youth operators

The street worker is a professional figure who carries out prevention, assistance and social recovery activities for all weak groups. The main task of the street worker is to follow a “weak” subject from the identification of the problem to his own solution, in collaboration with the public assistance network and with the various subjects present in the area.

To do this, the operator must first establish relationships and contacts with the school, the family, the places of association in the neighbourhood, with the aim of evaluating and contextualizing the subject, understanding the causes that condition and orient his behaviour in the context of social disadvantage.
Subsequently, the operator’s action is aimed at establishing a direct relationship with the subject, characterized by a strong component empathic, in order to:

• take into consideration the problems identified and exposed;
• exercise a role of guidance, advice, guidance, support and collaboration;
• allow the person to progress in the relationship with the surrounding environment so that a progressive recovery can be configured and reintegration into the social context
