Description
During this activity, the volunteer will offer support and empowerment services to Unaccompanied Minors and will complement and flourish the services already offered to them by the staff of the Semi-Autonomous Living Units run by KEAN in Athens, such as daily tasks and workshops on budgeting, housekeeping, nutrition and health, mobility in the city etc. to facilitate their semi- independent living and slowly prepare them for their “exit” to a completely independent life. KEAN also aims to protect and empower the UAMs, to safeguard their fundamental rights and to promote their smooth inclusion into the local society. The activity will offer you the opportunity to support a particularly vulnerable social group, to contribute to their social inclusion and empowerment, and to sensitize other people. Our intention is UAMs to see volunteers as friends and together to create an international pals’ team in which everyone is equal and together will bring social change.
