About the Project
Protecting the rights of children, especially the most vulnerable, is one of the objectives of the EU, which is committed to reducing poverty and social exclusion, including those outside the family (Porto Social Summit, 2021). Precisely with regard to this target, already in 2009 the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) approved the Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children, to ensure that each state ensures that children grow up in their own families whenever possible and, if not, that alternative forms of care provide a protected and supportive environment.
For this reason, EURHOPE proposes to include young people in new networks of positive relationships with the educating community through civic participation paths based on values and initiatives at European level, able to answer the question «what can the EU offer me to improve my condition and, at the same time, what can I do to make my voice heard?». The proposed actions will enable out-of-family children to rethink and act for themselves to build a Europe closer to their needs and to the idea of a democratic and inclusive society.
Target Groups
Primary target group
Considering how adolescents in particular are difficult to place in family-based and/or social inclusion programmes due to their age and ultimately at greater risk of long-term social exclusion, Eurhope focuses on children in residential care between the ages of 13 and 16.
Secondary target group
Functional targets for the involvement of minors are positive adults from the territory, to be trained so that they can represent positive models of European citizenship, incorporating and transmitting European values to the minors involved.

On 23 April 2024 EURHOPE partners had the opportunity to meet face-to-face for the first time at the headquarters of our partner Córdoba Acoge, in Córdoba, Spain.
