Description
During this activity, volunteers 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 Shelter for Unaccompanied minors run by KEAN in Larisa. UAMs are embraced by our scientific staff such as psychologists, educators, etc. and they participate in a series of educational, entertainment and empowerment activities for their personal and social development. 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, to identify and overcome their own stereotypes and xenophobic perceptions but also to sensitize other people by contributing to the creation of communities of equality and to the melioration of these children’s lives.
