zikmundova@streetwork.cz Outreach services, mobile youth work and youth drop-in centres today are a professional method of performing social work and of social pedagogy. It is also concerned with street children and street youths, drug addicts, homeless, people living in socially excluded areas and prostitutes. Their problems include isolation and poverty, physical hunger, lack of affection and respect, drug consumption, an inclination towards violence, extremist tendencies, homelessness, and boredom. Our approach developed for advisory work on the street is practised all over the world in a variety of forms and according to a variety of different theories. Its origins lie in the concept of outreach work developed in the USA. The first social pedagogical programmes were developed as early as the late 1920s, especially in large cities, in connection with constantly increasing juvenile delinquency. The target group typical at that time was the youthful street group, clique, or juvenile gang. Since the Second World War, street work approaches have been developed in almost all the nations of Western Europe, in Great Britain, where it is referred to as “Detached Youthwork". In the Netherlands, it is known as “Street Corner Work”, in Switzerland as “Gassenarbeit”. In France, street workers are referred to as “Travailleurs de la Rue”; in Germany, this approach is referred to as both Street Work and Mobile Youth Work. In the Czech republic we use terms like „streetwork“, „terénní sociální práce“, „kontaktní práce“, „nízkoprahové centra a nízkoprahové kluby, NZDM“.
