Support for social integration of children and youngsters living in residential services.

NEEDS Young people leaving residential institutions for children show a marked lack of communication skills and compliance with the rules of a particular social group. Our observations show that even when a young person has the necessary education and professional skills for a position or is admitted to a particular social group, in many cases he fails to stay long-term because of his inability to respect the rules and norms, to expect a long-term effect from your efforts today, from the lack of patience and faith in the results. TARGET GROUPS The aim of the project is to develop in children and young people the skills to work on a team project, skills to cope with and respond to external norms and rules, skills for inclusion in a new social group and other social skills. The project aims to support 45 children and youth from 7 to 29 years of age, resident in institutions of resident type: Samokov, Blagoevgrad and Sofia .
