In these spaces, children, youth, and adults can gain experience and knowledge from our specialists on the following topics:

• Combating Gender-Based and Sexual Violence
  Sessions on the topic of violence prevention are available for all ages. Our experts teach how to respond to and counteract violence.
• Positive Parenting Lectures for Adults
  Parents, whether experienced or preparing for parenthood, can receive valuable advice on caring for their children and fostering healthy family relationships.
• Life Skills Training for Children and Youth
  This training helps children and youth develop key skills for success in today’s world, including communication, critical thinking, and time management.

Additionally, thanks to Mobile Teams, all lectures and training sessions are available not only at the Friendly Spaces but also in other villages within the regions where the project is implemented.

A crucial component of the project is case management, through which families with children under 18 years can receive comprehensive support. A case manager is someone who will work individually with your family, helping to find necessary resources and information to help you overcome challenging circumstances.

All services are provided free of charge. To learn more about the schedule of activities and updates from the Friendly Spaces in your area, join the Telegram channels listed above or visit our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/posmishkaua.
