Tiivistelmä
Sankarit-activity, or shortly Sankarit, is an activity organised by City of Helsinki for youth with disabilities. The aim of the activity is to create a space for youth with disabilities where they can practice social skills and participate in activities of their own choosing.
Sankarit has been organized since 2001. Despite its long history, Sankarit-activity does not have an official guidebook and they do not organize time devoted to exercise and practice for new employees. The aim of this thesis was to produce the first official guidebook for future youth workers at Sankarit-activity. The goal of the guidebook is to make beginning work at Sankarit as proficient as possible. This is achieved by providing new employees with general information about Sankarit-activity, contact information, the most important task of a Sankarit youth worker, and directives for challenging scenarios amongst other useful information. These topics are presented in a variety of different forms including text, picture, video and PowerPoint presentations to accommodate different modes of learning.
This is a product-based thesis. Collecting data to this thesis was achieved using participant observation method and a questionnaire. The questionnaire questions and observations that are presented in the guidebook were selected according to their necessity to provide important tools and information to the future Sankarit workers.
One of the requirements for new Sankarit youth workers is that they speak Finnish. Because of this, Sankarit-activity solicited the product to be written in Finnish. The resulting guidebook is in the form of a Prezi presentation. The Prezi was saved both online and to a local computer file at Sankarit-activity. It takes approximately 20 minutes to finish, depending on the person. Sankarit-activity was both the subscriber and work-life partner of the product. According to the evaluation received from the Sankarit-activity managers, the aim of the guidebook was achieved, and they were satisfied with the product.
