Description

The project responds to the need of improvement of the status and opportunities of children in contact with the law in Roma communities in the cities of Plovdiv, Pazardzhik and Lom. The project will apply an effective integrated approach to the target groups - vulnerable Roma children, representatives of Roma informal groups and civil society organizations, Roma mediators. The project promoter will implement the project in partnership with two Roma organizations with significant impact in the Roma communities of Plovdiv and Lom. 

  • A specialized service "Center for Counseling and Legal Aid for Children" will be developed and implemented in the premises of the promoter and the partners.
  • Partnerships will be built in the three municipalities with key institutions that are important for working with children in contact with the law, through three workshops and partnership agreements.
  • The capacity of the teams and key institutions will be increased through three specialized trainings

At all stages of the project there will be cooperation with the Norwegian NGO SAVE A CHILD, which will study the experience of Norway in this field, consult the project, participate in online meetings and the final conference.
