Prosocial education in the programmes of volunteer organizations working with children and youth

This bachelor thesis offers an insight into the issue of prosocial education in the context of volunteer organisations working with children and youth. The aim is to compare the implementation of prosocial goals and values in the organisations' programmes. in the theoretical part, different concepts of prosocial education in both domestic and foreign environments are presented, followed by prominent features of volunteering and the situation of volunteer organizations in the Czech Republic. The comparison of six organisations shows the diversity in the scope and elaboration of prosocial content in the programmes of five organisations, while revealing the absence of an educational programme in the sixth organization. It also shows common goals, as well as differences in prioritization of values between the organizations. The thesis lays the groundwork for an empirical investigation focused on the practical fulfilment of goals and the transmission of values in various activities of the organizations.
