The aim of this paper was to examine the importance of the youth work phenomenon for both formation of (Yugoslav) man as well as its society. The main idea was to understand the phenomenon not only as the initiator of (high - productive) voluntary work but also as an originator of internationalization and tourism trends in the former state through the prism of historical and political changes. In order to detect phenomenon’s future potentiality we’ve compared it with the affined nowadays occurrences. Within youth work action’s leisure time music was set as one of the most powerful social change initiator and a (constructive) youth „education” method. Therefore the Yugoslav music scene „clips" were identified as important for understanding the development of youth culture and society in general. The intent of the paper was also to recognize the positive (youth) work action outcomes and to redefine them within the present day framework with the idea of potential development of both cultural tourism and voluntary work within current state borders. Therefore deliberation as well as contextualization of the paper’s idea bonded on relation state - society is based on triangulation yesterday - today - tomorrow. What we’ve learned from the past good practice examples we’ve compared with present samples and gave our vision for the future.
