  According to Hungarian youth surveys, we are witnessing a social group spending their free time pointlessly in a passive, recreative, mediatized and digital environment. No matter it’s a weekday or a weekend, many youngsters spend time doing practically nothing which is also reflected in the level of their active citizenship.

  Our personal experiences confirm: youths spend little time in places controlled by adults; they prefer the ones without any supervision. The question arises: can we create community places that are popular, yet safe, inspiring to learn and able to promote social participation?

  In the study, I attempt to present how to reach and involve the youth by a methodology that suits best to their free time spending patterns and to the way they use community places. To this, I briefly define the concepts of youth work and youth participation and I give a functioning Irish example. Later, I will summarize the key elements of the hang out method and attempt to back the recommended techniques by using my experiences and scientific literature.

  The study focuses on the socialized reading experience, referred to as story based method, by the author, who also recommends it as a tool for group or communal social work. In this nature, it can be clearly distinguished from the art or bibliotherapeutical directions, since only the aid is similar (the story, the reading and the discussion), but the framework of processing, regulating, depth and purpose is different. Hence, experiencing the process will become different for the participants and an other kind of involvement is required from them. Besides, the experience of story based method does not exclude motivation for deeper self-understanding and it could open barriers to involve in a therapeutic procedure.

  The introduction of the story based method is done through the work of Janne Teller. The short story was published in Denmark in 2000. The readers and professionals' attention was immediately drawn that Teller's book was initially prohibited, scandalous and later on awarded by the Ministry of Culture to be the Best Children's book. Also it was compulsory to read. The text of the book is easily understandable, however the problems described have a deeper meaning to them, therefore, it is suitable for analysis in several groups with dissimilar sociocultural backgrounds after the adequate revision.
