Call for proposals
Rights, Equality and Citizenship programme – “Capacity-building in the area of rights of the child” – REC-RCHI-PROF-AG-2017
Objectives and description
The aim of this call
is to support the development of robust and sustainable mechanisms and
frameworks for children in alternative care, to support their ageing out
of/leaving care. EU funding is intended to provide an opportunity to
get the necessary stakeholders to work together and establish an
integrated approach that ensures better outcomes for careleavers.
This call aims to fund targeted,
practical projects ensuring maximum tangible and demonstrable benefits
and impacts on the lives of beneficiaries (i.e. future careleavers).
In particular this call aims to support capacity building of professionals working for and with children in rights of the child and child protection.
Project
activities shall focus on putting in place robust national or regional
mechanisms to support children ageing out of/leaving alternative care
and they should encompass a strong child participation component.
This
call also covers third-country national/migrant children (including
unaccompanied children) who are in the care of the State.
Eligible activities
Project activities may include:
- mutual learning, exchange of good practices, cooperation;
- design and implementation of protocols, development of working methods which may be transferable to other regions or countries;
- capacity-building and training for professionals;
Projects should be practical projects rather than research fostering:
· capacity-building and an integrated approach
· the exchange of good practice
· training
on the rights and needs of careleavers (possibly involving former
careleavers themselves in training, but at the very least taking account
of their experience in designing training)
· provide
for the monitoring and review of aftercare plans, the continuous review
of efforts resulting from this project and monitoring of outcomes
Projects should seek to address known gaps in policy and in service provision both in preparations for leaving care and for aftercare supports.
