Physical violence and emotional abuse still represent a daily reality for many children in Moldova, both at home and at school. Terre des hommes Moldova, with the financial support of Oak Foundation, launched a three-year project aiming to prevent violence against children by engaging the entire community. About 70 teachers and school students from the 30 beneficiary communities participated in the launching event on April 12. 

This programme was developed by Romanian experts Mihaela Sasarman and Andrei Chişcu and contains 20 topics focused on the most frequent behaviors experienced by children, being provided for application during one academic year.

The purpose of this guidebook is to prevent juvenile delinquency among preadolescent and adolescent children, and it is addressed to psychologists working in schools and psycho-pedagogical assistance services.

This Handbook responds to one of the major needs of the juvenile justice system - that of changing children’s criminal behaviours. Delinquent behaviour amongst children is the outcome of multiple risk factors, given that the protection measures that have been taken proved to be insufficient. 

To support professionals that engage in participatory work with children and young people affected by sexual violence and to empower young people, Terre des hommes Romania and Tdh Regional Office for South East Europe took part in a 2-year project led by the International Centre (IC): Researching child sexual exploitation, violence and trafficking at the University of Bedfordshire (UK).

Innovative approaches and political commitment are needed to improve quality mechanisms in child protection concluded the participants of the third annual ChildHub regional conference. On the 5th and 6th of December, more than 50 leading child protection professionals from 9 countries met in Tirana to discuss existing quality mechanisms in child protection and explore promising practices.

The third annual regional conference of “Child Protection Hub for South-East Europe” will take place in Tirana (Albania) on December 5-6. As an effort to improve the effectiveness of child protection services, the conference will discuss existing quality mechanisms in child protection and explore good or promising practices. 

On November 8, 2017 - 30 teachers from 20 education institutions in the Ungheni, Falesti and Soroca districts took part in the wrap-up event of the "For a violence-free life of children in Moldova" project. The event was an opportunity for teachers to share their experience in implementing the programme on conscious gender-sensitive parenting.

Terre des hommes Romania together with its partners from Austria, Spain, Italy, and Bulgaria addressed this need through the 2-year project “Reinforcing cOmpetences to Build Inclusion through a New learning methodology (ROBIN)”. 

The fifth transnational meeting in the framework of the Erasmus+ project “Improving the protection and wellbeing of children in Europe: enhancing the curriculum” took place between October 30th and November 1st, 2017.
