💼 What the programme involves

The center was established to support children with disabilities and their families by meeting their essential needs. Our services are provided to children aged 7 to 18 with intellectual, physical, or complex disabilities, as well as those with psychological developmental disorders (excluding mental health conditions), along with their families.During the day, children are assisted by staff through sports, simple arts and crafts, shared daily routines, and learning new skills. Our goal is to enrich children’s lives by nurturing their skills, knowledge, emotions, and each child's unique strengths and abilities.A typical day in the Social Day Care Center includes: a morning circle, arts & crafts, mealtime, rest/relaxation, active leisure, and a farewell circle at the end of the day.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
