The project aimed to break the cycle of discrimination, isolation, and self-destruction by implementing a system of inner development of self-confidence. The goal was to empower individuals, regardless of their background or culture, to overcome blockages, gain self-confidence, and become strong individuals with a belief in their own abilities and competences. By addressing personal circumstances, traumas, emotional challenges, cultural and family backgrounds, the project sought to provide individuals with the tools to face the world and their own challenges in a positive way. The project also aimed to enhance existing educational programs by incorporating an individual-focused approach that considers the specific needs and challenges of learners. By integrating techniques and skills for personal growth and self-development, the project sought to support individuals in overcoming convictions, limitations, emotions, traumas, and burdens that hinder their progress. The goal was to help individuals leave the past behind, gain self-confidence, and create a better future. The target group consisted of professionals working with the Roma community, the beneficiaries were individuals from the Roma community who required support.

The overall goal of our project was to contribute to -high quality, informal inclusive education and training -for people facing difficulties, in actively engaging and participating in their communities -with the qualifications and skills needed for their meaningful participation in a democratic society, intercultural understanding and successful transition in the labor market. Our goal was the delivery of an innovative approach for Roma and other migrants/refugees, based on a system of inner development of self confidence, making it possible to grow and to become a strong individual with a lot of inner power. Underlying objectives are : - a blueprint for an educational pathway using the own strengths and resources of people to make a plan and make decisions for the future and thus keep the directorship of their lives in their own hands -a group of 10 qualified persons able to share the basics of the pathway developed to the communities foreseen; they gained qualifications and skills needed for their meaningful participation in democratic society and intercultural understanding.
