Management and leadership in open educational centers for young people in vulnerable situations

Abstract

The social condition of young people in vulnerable situations arises a educational demand that has to be assumed, certainly by state policies, but, coming from a reflective point of view, it is everyone’s duty. Nevertheless, the recipients of this educational job, are distinguished from purely-academic needs. They require of educational projects that answer with efficiency their formation and comprehensive promotion needs. From this point, the experience of the Comprehensive Open Educational Center Don Bosco Róga, that offers projects for the attention of young people, with a leadership management, from where the potentialities of the educational agents, just as an optimization of resources, converge in a work in which short, medium and long-term results are obtained for the comprehensive formation and insertion in society of these young people in vulnerable situations. The experience at the Comprehensive Open Educational Center Don Bosco Róga is proof that, to educate young people at risk or in vulnerable situations, there must be a constant reflection about social changes that happen in the surroundings of these young people, just as a leadership and management that implicates all the different departments of an institution, taking care of all the dimensions of the person so as to achieve a true comprehensive formation, promotion and insertion in the society.
