Summary/Abstract: The principles of the state youth care and Programmes of Youth Support and Protection in Slovak Republic for 1992 significantly encouraged the development of out-of-school pursuits of young people in individual districts of Slovakia, helped to build a new network of associations, unions, youth initiatives as well as adult citizens with a deeper relation to youth work. The representatives of youth civic associations keep looking for a path toward young people. This takes the form of the search for the consensus in defending specific youth interests reflected in the deepening process of pluralization of the youth movement. It is also the search for the consensus in defending universal youth interests reflected in the process of deetatizing of the youth movement, i.e. through replacement of state paternalism by a new relation of the state to young people (best expressed by the term subsidiary).
