Abstract

In our postindustrial and technological society, leisure is an important pillar of development which is increasingly related to concepts like progress, well-being and quality of life. Its multiple and varied manifestations have relevant cultural consequences and economic.
Leisure time is an important part of everyday life, both for the individual and the groups in modern society, and is also an indicator of the way and quality of everyday life. It is an important factor for the integration of the individual in society, as well as for his mental and physical development.
Participation in purposeful, organized and concieved leisure activities of young people successfully affects the realization and development of their abilities, as well as training for quality and productive use of their leisure time. Only then does leisure time become its primary goal, which is not to „kill“ time and join / accept risky behaviors, but in an active engagement and a healthy way of spending it.
Hence the need to actualize this issue and take concrete actions of all stakeholders who in turn contribute to quality and meaningful spending of leisure time of young people. The interest in this issue arises due to the fact that children today have more and more leisure time that is not structured and adequately used. And the facts show that inadequately organized leisure time can be a risk factor for the development of numerous risky and delinquent behaviors in young people, the opportunity to enter the world of experimenting with risky behavior, delinquency, various forms of addiction, and other forms of socially unwanted behavior.
