This bachelor thesis engages with the question what is the role of the Salesian Youth Centre in how the children spend their leisure time in České Budějovice. The main aim of this thesis is to find out which leisure activities the Salesian Youth Centre offers and which leisure activities the children prefer. Another aim is also to find out the motivation of children who come to participate in leisure activities of Salesian Youth Centre. The thesis consists of theoretical and empirical part. The theoretical part is divided into 5 subchapters. The first subchapter deals with the introduction of Salesians and also introduces their founder Don Bosco. Moreover, this subchapter deals with the foundation of the first Oratory and last but not least it elaborates on precautionary style and principles of the salesian upbringing. The second subchapter engages with the introduction of the Salesian Youth Centre in České Budějovice. The third subchapter deals with the activities of the Centre. There is listed the programme of leisure activities the Centre provides. The fourth subchapter defines the leisure time, its function, the possibilities of leisure time and also the risks which leisure time brings. The last, fifth subchapter of the theoretical part deals with social work in the Salesian Youth Centre, not only with children and adolescents, but also with families. The empirical part deals solely with the results of research. The main research question read: "What is the role of the Salesian Youth Centre in how children spend their leisure time?" It was divided into two particular research questions: "What is the reason of children visiting the Salesian Youth Centre?" and "How is the visit of the Salesian Youth Centre helpful for the children?" To acquire the needed information, qualitative research was made, by using the method of questioning and the technique of half-structured interview. The research set was chosen with the use of purpose-built quota sampling. The communication partners of the age 10-15 were chosen from the open club Oratory. The research set consisted of 5 communication partners, who were willing to participate in the research. The research came through in two phases. At first a pre-research was made, then the research itself. The interview was shot on dictaphone and rewritten word for word. The acquired data were evaluated by means of so called tussocks. The resulting data were structured by particular research questions. The research brought answers to the stated questions. It was found out that the children visit the Centre because it provides them with background, where they can securely play and contact the workers with any question for advice or help. The Centre provides the help with education as well, in the form of leisure programme Tutoring. From the research emerged that the role of the Salesian Youth Centre is very significant in the leisure time of children. It tries to show the children, how meaningfully they can spend their leisure time. The results of the bachelor thesis can be used to further work with the children and adolescents. Eventually they can be also provided at the meeting of the National council of Salesians, where are the matters of working with children and adolescents discussed as well.
