CarINg aims at helping girls and boys in the alternative care system (care leavers) become protagonists of their own future by making them feel part of a welcoming community.
CarINg is a European action-research project that supports boys and girls leaving the alternative care system (care leavers) in realising their life project:
- It focuses on care leavers, involving them in all phases of the project and supporting them during the process of preparing for independence.
- It provides tailor-made training for social service professionals and stimulates the community to network around the needs and aspirations of carers.
Main Objectives:
CarINg intends to provide care leavers with the appropriate support to enable them to realise their life project outside the care system.
The project has 2 main objectives :
OBJECTIVE 1
To train and raise the awareness of all the actors in the community in order to guarantee that care leavers are listened to and that they have the right to participate in the decision-making process that affects them.
OBJECTIVE 2
To elaborate an integrated model for the care leavers' care that can become a methodological and operational reference point at local, national and European level.
