Description
Young people in Bihor County are at high risk of social exclusion, facing lack of jobs and lack of training and qualifications partly due to low confidence in their own strength. The main objective of the project is to facilitate social inclusion of youth at risk by implementing integrated educational measures, preventing and reducing antisocial behavior and increasing awareness of youths' situation. The beneficiaries are 200 youth at risk (30 Roma), 30 parents/tutors and 40 professionals (5 Roma). Activities are aimed at improving their capacity for social and educational development through access to education, by ensuring formal and informal education in order to increase their chances in the labour market. The project provides an educational and social package: cultural and medical education, education through sport and recreational activities.
