Children are happy that the transport equipment was supplemented with new high-quality bicycles for all three day centers.

Also there is an equipped space where early professional development sessions are held.

Specialits of day care centers were able to improve their professional knowledge by Project funding. Psychologist psychotherapist Aušra Kuriene shared her experience in training „Application and implementation of therapeutic work methodology when working with children with emotional and behavioral disorders“.

„Workers of all three centers went to Munich (Germany) to gain more good experience. We visited the girls socialization center, which significantly differs from the centers of its kind in our country. We have not grown in this area yet. Also, we visited the youth house, a family center, child protection center. Experience like this is priceless and very valuable“,  - said J. Kuleviciene.

challenges  in complex and work towards common goals.“, - welcomed head of "Dienvidis".
