Education and vocational training
Education is the heart of our work with people living in inequality. We work towards all children and youths, regardless of their social status, to go to school every day and to receive individual help and support.
Education for us starts even before school. We make sure that children and youths have everything they need to be included in the education system – adequate clothes and shoes, having all necessary textbooks and learning materials, access to transportation and last but not least that someone from home or their community is there to encourage and support them with their afterschool work. In order to encourage children’s long-term commitment to education and their future professional development we work with specialists who organize group and individual activities by interest aimed at basic literacy, catching up on missed material, strengthening acquired knowledge and developing student’s full potential.
Achieving these focal goals we do through partnerships with kindergartens and schools by creating bridges of cooperation between the education system and the social service system, who help improve the overall well-being of children and youths from vulnerable groups.
