Draft program: TC Kids in Action (download)

TC “KIDS IN ACTION” will support youth workers and trainers with knowledge and practical skills on how to integrate young parents with small kids up to 4 years old and pregnant women into their actions (trainings, seminars, youth exchanges and etc.). In order to give a possibility for more youth workers and trainers who are interested in this topic to develop their competencies on how to involve and to work with young parents and their kids until 4 years old, after the trainings an online courses will be developed with a help of participants. This we believe will encourage and provide with opportunities for young parents and pregnant women to participate in different actions and to develop their competencies useful in their professional and social lives.
