Start and finish time of webinar
14:00-15:00 CET

In this webinar, we will present “Safe Places, Thriving Children”, a two-year EU co-funded project led by SOS Children’s Villages International that is currently being implemented in Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary and Serbia.

If messages like “What is love? System don’t hurt me no more”, “All homes should feel like home” or “We need help not punishment” speak to you, then make sure to join us! Those are some of the key messages developed by the group of care-experienced young people participating in the project.

In this project, SOS Children’s Villages is collaborating with partners to:

  • Develop and deliver training for child and youth care professionals on trauma and trauma-informed practices.
  • Support alternative care organisations to offer a trauma-informed living environment for children and young people in their care.
  • Raise awareness among a wider range of professionals on what trauma is, how it affects a child’s development and how to behave in a more trauma-sensitive manner.
  • Elaborate policy recommendations to advocate for child protection systems that offer appropriate and timely support to children and young people who have been affected by trauma, in order to give them the chance to heal and become their strongest selves.

In this webinar we will:

  • Introduce the methodology behind the project and its three lines of intervention.
  • Present the experiences of training child and youth care professionals in the national trainings in Hungary.
  • Discuss the gaps the trauma-informed practices training and other interventions fill in the Croatian child protection environment, and the changes in policy and practice that SOS Children’s Villages Croatia and partners are advocating for. 

Presenters:

  • Florence Treyvaud Nemtzov (Senior Project Manager, SOS Children’s Villages International)
  • Lubos Tibensky (Programme Advisor, SOS Children’s Villages International)
  • Gábor Kelemen (Student and young co-trainer with care experience in Hungary)
  • Krešimir Makvić (National Advocacy Advisor and Project Coordinator for SOS Children’s Villages Croatia).
