About this project

<p><span style="font-size: 14px"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The aim of the project is to ensure better access of the MRC to quality social services by building a service centre focused on socially excluded communities to acquire hygiene habits and various skills - starting with children and youth, which will help them to integrate into the majority society. However, the target group includes adults at risk of social exclusion, to whom the community centre will provide the opportunity to attend various courses, acquire work habits and also provide counselling in various areas of life. Such activities of the service centre aim to reduce unemployment and increase the quality of life, especially among members of the MRC.
