From the publisher:

Society is strong in its diversity, opportunities for self-development and self-expression. Its role in the rational direction of the self-creative energy of children, adolescents, and young people is especially important. To a large extent, this goal is realised through the participation of a young person in common activities with their peers, the organisational and emotional unification of intentions and forces. Schools and social and educational institutions are primarily called upon to help them in this. It is on these features of children's and youth life and pedagogical activity that the proposed textbook focuses. It reveals the essence, functional specificity, stages of development of children's and youth movements, activities of children's and youth NGOs, informal groups in Ukraine, and ways of social and pedagogical support for their causes. For students of higher education institutions, social workers, organisers of children's and youth movements.
