The Road to Freedom, is a 24-month Erasmus+ EU project that includes 6 organizations from 6 European countries working on a support program for inmates and ex-inmates in and after incarceration in prisons through proven FROG leadership and life-mastery training and peer mentoring.

Aim: The project aims to teach and implement methods to inmates and ex-inmates to break the vicious cycle of criminality and multiple prison stays through personal empowerment.

Target Groups: The project’s target groups are firstly convicts and ex-convicts and secondly marginalized groups everywhere in the world as well as several stakeholders (such as trained peers).

The project is focused on solving problems with the inclusion of disadvantaged children and youth in primary and secondary schools. Cooperation is an important pillar of the project – many European countries, like the Czech Republic, face similar problems in integrating disadvantaged groups into society, and the transfer and sharing of best practices and examples of good practice can help address them.

The aim of this call is to develop, support and strengthen the competencies of primary and secondary school teachers in the inclusive education of children and youth not only in the field of business and social innovation.

For this reason, the CpKP North Moravia has established cooperation with the non-profit organizations Lyk-z & daughters from Norway and Einurd from Iceland, which have experience with inclusive education and training in business and social innovation in these countries. The expert consultants of the project are representatives of an Icelandic organization Móðurmál – the Association on Bilingualism  and Pedagogical-Psychologist Counseling Center in Šumperk.

Statistics show that people with disabilities are more exposed than others to unemployment and social exclusion. During the recent lockdown educators, VET mentors and job coaches working with people with disabilities have found a lot of challenges to continue delivering career advice and job coaching to their target group mainly due to: A lack of digital competences for mentoring and job coaching online.

The Work@ble project is a 2-year European project that brings together organizations offering job coaching to people with disabilities, the creators of the FROG methodology and one expert in developing accessible IT solutions.

Work@ble Outcomes:

• Create an e-Scape Room: Training and assessing job skills tailor-made to people with learning needs and cognitive difficulties due to disabilities
• Guidelines for Job Coaches and VET mentors in how to use the e-Scape Room
• A collection of job coaching resources and tools addressed to people with disabilities

lyk-z delivers a program with a set of FROG tools that work- and rehabilitation companies (EPR) in Greece, Slovenia, Belgium and Spain will train their job coaches and YPWD (young people with disabilities) in. The goal is to create increased work inclusion for young people who have various mental and physical limitations. The project is supported by Erasmus + funds.
