Description
The project aims to implement a broad program for socio-economic inclusion of vulnerable groups from different ethnicity in the neighbourhood “Stolipinovo”, providing improved access to administrative, social, educational and health services by establishing a one stop shop centre. As the access to such services is limited both by the spatial segregation of the population of the neighbourhood and by the lack of trust of the community in public institutions, the Centre will give a new approach to providing basic services to the disadvantaged residents of “Stolipinovo” neighbourhood.The project proposal envisages to improve the housing conditions in the neighborhood “Stolipinovo” by starting a procedure for elaboration and approval of a regulation under the Spatial Development Act which will legalize the illegal areas and housing (where the most vulnerable members of the community live). The Centrе will offer consultations on social, educational and health issues, preventive medical examinations and free food, as well as leisure activities both for children and parents, which will help the Centre to become more than an administrative building, but a multifunctional space that meets the needs of the local community. The project proposal includes conducting of communication and awareness activities within the community and with the majority population aimed at achieving positive change in the attitudes, information campaigns on healthy lifestyle and nutrition, the problems of the Roma community, applying for and starting a job, basic digital skills, etc.
