Background information
Since January 2022, Südwind is leading the ADA funded project “Future Youth Moldova”.
The project is implemented in partnership with the two Moldovan NGOs AVE Copiii and Gender Centru. The project duration is from 01/01/2022 – 31/12/2024.
The general objective of the project is to create a supportive environment for adolescent girls and boys from rural areas ageing out of state alternative care for smoothening their transition to independent living through life skills, vocational education, increasing access to decent work.
The specific objective is that young care leavers (girls and boys) manage the transition to independent life through support in enrolling in and during VET, entering employment under legal conditions and enjoying full social inclusion.
The expected outcomes of the project are:
- Increased choices and opportunities for young boys and girls leaving state care to
make independent and informed decisions about their future VET school and
profession - Risks reduced for young girls and boys leaving care to become homeless or street
children or single mothers, due to temporary vulnerability when they leave their
place / state residential institutions - Independent life skills of youth girls and boys to cope with economic and social
shocks in transition to adulthood increased - Responsible stakeholders are more sensitized on specific challenges faced by young
people leaving care and better equipped with knowledge and skills to support them
to safely navigate in this transition
Target groups:
- Young girls and boys in state alternative care or transitioning out of state alternative
care or enrolled in vocational schools - Professionals from territorial guardianship authorities
- Teaching staff in vocational schools
Project activities include:
- Career counselling for care leavers
- Temporary accommodation and psychological support for care leavers by
renovating and setting up a ‘CoTin’ Youth Corner - Individual support and legal advice for young care leavers
- Empowerment in the form of educational and creative workshops and the
development of educational materials - Training for guardianship authorities, regional administrations and teachers in
vocational schools - Preparation of recommendations for action for policymakers and organisation of
exchange meetings with representatives of regional policy and regional
administration
