These young Brusselses are confronted to important socioeconomic difficulties and thus to a lack of means to organize or participate in activities. Knowledge and values are not adequately transmitted to them anymore.

This situation stresses the conflicts of generation, the appearance of violence and the feeling of insecurity. In front of this situation, a device of educational care was set up, mainly in districts that are socially and economically discriminated. The mission of the staff consists of:

• Helping these young people to form themselves
• Facilitating, by games, the learning of the respect for others and for solidarity (education in citizenship)
• Proposing activities of preventive and educational information to young people and\or to his parents
• Revealing the capacities of the young people and making their operations possible
• Giving sports, creative and cultural activities to these young people
• Setting up collective or community projects which warn for the emergence of social problems and violence
