Description
The project responds to the population'' needs affected by poverty and marginalization in Targu Frumos, Iasi County, in order to increase its proactive capacity to identify, address and solve problems, as well as to exercise their rights in relation to local decision makers. The beneficiaries of the projects will be represented by: families with Roma children, with educational risk, children with disabilities, in which the parents do not have a job, and live in precarious conditions. The issues will be approached gradually, through information and subsequent formation of 2 representative informal groups. The approach aims to empower the vulnerable groups to influence the quality, efficiency and diversification of public services in the city. The approach of the intervention is built as follows: provide information on rights, services, training for public representation, carried out in parallel with workshops for local leaders to facilitate social inclusion, dialogue with local representatives and increasing their responsibility as cross-cutting theme of the project. The provision of services has the role of responding to urgent needs but also to constitute a benchmark for beneficiaries in terms of standards in social services. The thematic areas of the public meetings will be: social services, education, housing and employment. The project will also map the social needs, as the applicant''s experience shows that the size of the needs in the city are not known by decision makers and in its absence, practically these groups remain invisible. The project will open new approaches in the community, in terms of partnership and collaboration between vulnerable groups and local decision makers in identifying solutions to problems raised by the community.
