Although steps have been taken in recent years to support vulnerable groups in disadvantaged communities, there is still a limited level of involvement in active measures to implement social justice and the inclusion of vulnerable groups. For this reason, through the project Active Social Inclusion through Local Development we want to expand the areas to address the problems, to increase the capacities of vulnerable groups, to develop their integration and participation skills in the community, including in the decision-making process. \u201d mentioned Gabriela R\u0103ducanu, project coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>The project will provide social services to people in the target group by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Activities to increase the capacity and skills of integration in the community;<\/li>\n<li>Skills training activities;<\/li>\n<li>\u201cSchool after School\u201d education activities;<\/li>\n<li>Creation of Community Advisory Committees for the 2 disadvantaged communities targeted by the project;<\/li>\n<li>Regular community actions for members of the 2 vulnerable communities;<\/li>\n<li>Organizational development activities;<\/li>\n<li>Develop an online platform to meet the needs of vulnerable groups.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The project is implemented between 01.02.2021 &#8211; 31.07.2022, in two disadvantaged communities in the North-East Region: Valea Seac\u0103 commune (Bac\u0103u county) and Dim\u0103cheni commune (Boto\u0219ani county).<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please contact:<\/p>\n<p>Gabriela R\u0103ducanu, Project Coordinator of the Star of Hope Romania Foundation<\/p>\n<p>Email: gbraducanu@yahoo.com<\/p>\n<p>Phone: 0745254692<\/p>\n<p>Adina Mih\u0103l\u0103chiu\u021b\u0103, Project Communication Manager Star of Hope Romania Foundation<\/p>\n<p>Email: adinamihalachiuta@starofhope.ro<\/p>\n<p>Phone: 0743112725<\/p>\n<p>About Active Citizens Fund Romania<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThe Active Citizens Fund Romania programme is funded through the EEA Grants 2014-2021.
