Description
The aim of this project is to conduct a study visit according to the rules of the program and the needs of our team. The project participants work with people at risk of social exclusion, individuals with disabilities, or with less opportunities. The assumed purpose of the visit is therefore to increase the team''s thematic competences, experiences, and acquisition of good practices. The aim is also to establish long-term cooperation with Norwegian institutions working in this area, in order to jointly implement initiatives in this area in the near future. Specifically, the project will involve four of our people working with people at risk of social exclusion, in a four-day study visit, provided by the FURIM institute in Oslo. During its implementation, we will participate in organized workshops, study visits and job-shadowing of the host organization and others in the area.
The specific objectives of the visit:
1. to increase the competence and experience of our team involved in designing, and implementing solutions and support addressed to people with fewer opportunities, people from socially vulnerable groups, and people with disabilities. The goal will be achieved through direct observation, participation in activities of the Norwegian organisation by our 4 persons.
2. establishing cooperation with institutions from the host country in order to develop joint activities in the area of supporting people at risk of social exclusion. This will be achieved by introducing us to the local professional environment by the host organisation.
