About this project

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;, sans-serif">The overall objective of RISEi project is to increase the social inclusion of children and young people at risk by creating an Integrated Support Network through Inclusive Education in three counties: Ilfov, Neamt and Iasi.</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;, sans-serif">The project will develop a support network in 3 counties that will offer a quality, fair and inclusive education based on the needs of each child / young person. Thus, the project will help reduce the school dropout and ensure access to quality education for children with special needs (SEN).</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;, sans-serif">Target groups: 840 children at risk of school dropout (grades I-VIII); 30 children with SEN (grades I-VIII); 40 parents of children from the target group; 150 education staff.</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;, sans-serif">The actions will target the target group directly and also indirectly, through teacher training programs and support for parents of children / young people. Also, activities of integrating children into local communities are proposed by participating in joint actions with its members, thus leading to social inclusion and promoting the principle of desegregation of the target group.</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;, sans-serif">The RISEI network will have the same components in each of the three counties: (1) a Centre/physical space where certain support programs will be made available, (2) a common methodology for the provision of support services for the target group and (3) an online interactive platform dedicated to teaching staff and social services. The joint methodology will be developed together with the Norwegian partners on the basis of the exchange of experience offered to collaborating schools and local teams in the centres, as well as good practices identified with the Norwegian partners, and it will include a teaching methodology that will address the learning needs of every child&nbsp;by formal and non-formal education tools.</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;, sans-serif">Through the work of the three partner NGOs in the project, the county centres will provide educational, social and psychological support to children at risk.</span></span></p>
