Brief summary of the content:

The goal of the project is to improve the living standards of the people in Bulgaria by establishing a network between Bulgaria and the Netherlands to improve the social inclusion of youths in conflict with the law. The innovative model of the network WorkWise – established and developed in the Netherlands within the programme EQUAL, focusing on the postinstitutional care for youths in conflict with the law, will be transferred and adapted in Bulgaria. The task of the project is to analyse the practices in the subsequent cares for youths in conflict with the law and to conduct round tables in the target regions. A methodology to implement a system for subsequent cares for youths, who leave the institutions for children in conflict with the law, will be developed and applied. The functioning of the pilot system will be monitored for 6 months. The project will be brought to an end with the establishment of a network of relevant institutions and organizations under the model of the network WorkWise.
