Daphne project - Raising a Child through Prison Bars. Project coordinated by Institute of Child Health. (01/01/2010-31/12/2012)
The majority of women prisoners all over Europe are mothers; a high percentage of them are the sole care giver of their child/ren & they have suffered multiple forms of social exclusion as well as of abuse already prior to their imprisonment; among other implications, these risk factors can lead to impaired parental abilities. This, along with the imprisonment of a parent can have devastating effects on children’s development & mental health; children of imprisoned parents are also at greater risk of being homeless or institutionalised, incarcerated themselves and of being exposed to abuse due to inadequate parental supervision.
The project’s objectives are to contribute to:
- Support imprisoned mothers & future mothers to handle their own experiences of abuse
- Prevent and combat children abuse and neglect as well as to provide support to children of imprisoned parents in order to both disrupt the cycle of violence & enhance children’s resilience
- Collect data in 3 EU countries aiming to map the imprisoned mothers population in regards to demographic information, needs and problems faced by them, their children and families
The role of SURT in this project will be of external evaluator. The rest of the partners of the project are: the Institute of child health (coordinator, Greece), Babes-Bolyai University (Romania),South-West University "Neofit Rilski" (SWU) (Bulgaria), European Anti-Violence Network (EAVN). |

Gruntdvig Project- En-Vogue.A tailor-made educational programme to provide an attractive stage for young females
learners. Project coordinated by BEST. (01/11/2009-31/10/2011)
Although female representation in IT and economy courses has generally increased, it is still common that socially disadvantaged, low-level educated women show low participation in this kind of courses. This lead to barriers: reduced participated, in a wider society, reduced access to information, reduced chances on an increasingly demanding labour market.
In order to improve this situation, it is important and necessary for adult education to employ practicable strategies of how to attract motivation and increase participation of female learners in these subjects.
Following this idea, En-Vogue is targeted at education providers dealing with disadvantaged, low-level educated young female learners and will equip them with innovative methods and tools for providing IT and economy contents embedded in the thematic world of fashion.
The other partner organisations are: BEST (coordination, Austria), VHS Charm (Germany), IRFA SUD (France), IAL (Italy), FOLK (Sweden), CANK (Turkey) and Careers Europe (UK).
