The Scout Support of Families

The aim of the project is to provide support to Świętokrzyskie families in the field of childcare and upbringing. As part of the project, 180 places of care and upbringing will be created in 12 newly created day support facilities run in the backyard form in the province. In total, the project will support a group of 264 people (132K/132M), including: 180 minors (90K/90M), 60 parents (30K/30M), 24 members of the educational staff (12K/12M). The most comprehensive and insightful analysis so far of the situation of families and problems related to parenting is the "Parental Burnout Around the Globe: The 42-Country Study. Under strict methodological supervision, 12364 mothers and 5045 fathers from 42 countries were examined. This report revealed one of the key issues related to parenting and upbringing: Parental burnout. Unfortunately, among the 42 countries surveyed, Poland ranks at the very top of the scale of the problem. At the same time, as part of the ‘First family’ project, scientists from the Jagiellonian Club carried out a thorough analysis of the above-mentioned issues in the context of the Polish family. The research findings published in 2023 form the basis for the diagnosis of the target group for this project. Namely, the study defined parental burnout as ‘a chronic condition resulting from long-term exposure to chronic stress associated with childcare’. It has four dimensions: "an exhausting parental role, loss of parental pleasure, emotional distancing from their children and a sense of inefficiency in their parental role". The above international and national research contributed to the applicant's self-analysis of the regularly conducted educational work of children and young people in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, including looking at the functioning of the family and their impact on the attitudes of the youngest generation. The diagnosis made, described further in the application (part "Target groups", "Additional information"), confirms the conclusions of the above studies. Therefore, the existence of day support facilities, including in the form of a backyard, for families by taking care of children becomes important. Diagnosed problems affect families as such, affect both mothers and fathers, affect boys and girls. There is therefore no valid reason to focus support on one gender. The proportion of women and men in the target group was therefore based on the GUS database on the number of men and women in the Świętokrzyskie voivodship. The identified problem in the target group of the project has its reference in the planned tasks. The first of them is the organization and program of 12 backyard common rooms in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, consistent with the Scout Education System, whose administrator is ZHP. HSW is fully consistent with the provisions of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, because the provisions of the ZHP are consistent with national legislation and national law with EU law. In order to meet the need to implement sustainable development and the "do no significant harm" principle, the task of "environmental workshops" for children will be implemented. The guarantor of practical shaping of anti-discrimination attitudes will be classes focused on the issue of hate speech and shaping attitudes of tolerance. The project popularizes the habits of family spending time, and its implementation will allow the educational staff. these important tasks in the field of supporting the family to acquire / improve key communication skills both in the sphere of direct interactions and increasingly important for young people interactions through the network.The project thus strengthens the effectiveness of educational activities by improving the channels of intergenerational understanding. The full description of the tasks and the fulfilment of the competition criteria can be found below.
