About this project

<pre>The project’s team of experts organized discussions and awareness-raising activities on perinatal care and parenting. Counseling sessions addressed issues such as gender equality, gender-based violence, the importance of education for children and youth, early marriages, and school dropout prevention. Parents of babies and toddlers up to two years old received guidance on infant nutrition and parenting. Additionally, a creative play space for toddlers was established in Drosero, Xanthi. Youth groups were also formed to develop mentors from within the community who would work to address and resolve long-standing issues affecting the Roma population. Throughout the initiative, events and informational meetings were held with institutions, schools, universities, NGOs, and the non-Roma population. These efforts aimed to disseminate results and break down stereotypes, fostering interaction and collaboration within the communities and promoting smoother social inclusion. </pre>
