The project will provide a systematic approach that will engage primarily children, train teachers and professionals to strengthen the supportive networks, facilitate parental engagement, and coordinate with local and national services and institutions. Schools will receive tailored assistance for preventing mental health issues and promoting the well-being of children to create a supportive and nurturing learning environment. One of the pillars of the project will be child participation in the elaboration of the toolkit, decision-making at the school level, and peer-to-peer education. Children will also become advocates at the community level to promote and raise awareness of children’s mental health. The EU strategy for children’s rights will be strengthened and promoted in different contexts of the project.

The project aims to cultivate and leverage local expertise through a consortium of experienced partners – Fundatia Serviciilor Sociale Bethany, Fundatia de Sprijin Comunitar, Asociatia “Buna Ziua Copii din Romania” – three grassroots organizations specialized in child protection, social and educational services, Federatia Organizatiilor Neguvernamentale pentru Copil – a federation specialized in advocacy and child rights and Evolutionary Archetypes Consulting – the transnational partner with great expertise in innovative communication, all supported by the local authorities, schools, specialists in social, educational field from the local, regional and national level.
