GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT: Stimulating participation in education and preventing early school leaving for 300 children whose parents are abroad from Vrancea and Galati counties. Within the project will be implemented an intervention model to increase participation in education and reduce early school leaving for children with parents gone to work abroad continuously improved by Save the Children Organisation in over 10 years of activity, a model awarded in 3 editions of the Civil Society Gala (2013, 2017 and 2019) and recognised as an example of good practice in the field at national level. Together with Save the Children’s activities, the project will provide innovative services by Partner 1 – Values School, which will provide an innovative educational package through an “interactive educational caravan”: educational and career guidance workshops based on values and non-formal methods of education. Save Children is an accredited provider of social services and operates in the field of promotion and protection of children’s rights since 1990. Over 2.2 million children were included in educational, social and protective programs. It carries out projects aimed at facilitating access to education and preventing school abandonment for vulnerable children, mainly through school-type interventions, but also other types of interventions, through which, since 1998, it has supported over 42,000 children. It has long-standing collaborations with schools, SPAS, DGASPC, ISJ in many counties, including those in which the proposed project takes place. Starting in 2010, a complex program for the protection and education of children left alone at home as a result of the departure of parents to work abroad is developed at national level. The organisation Save Children has contributed to the improvement of the relevant legislation, concreteised by new legislative provisions included in the Child Law in 2013 and 2020. The Values School conducts value-based educational activities in 2018 within the “Career Bus” programs that aim to reduce school dropout and increase students’ inclusion and performance. HOW THE PROJECT WILL GENERATE A POSITIVE LONG-TERM EFFECT: Through the proposed objectives and activities, as well as the expected results, the project produces a significant and lasting change in the quality of life of children with parents abroad from the 2 counties targeted (Vrancea and Galati) related to the South-East region. Through the project, 300 students and preschoolers with parents abroad from 2 localities in the county. Vrancea – Adjud and Biliesti – and 2 localities in the county. Galati Tecuci and Pechea – will benefit from an integrated package of services to stimulate participation in education and prevent early school leaving.
