Dariia Lavrentieva from Ukraine has won this year's Innovation Award. Her pitch was voted the best pitch amongst 10 different social innovative ideas. Project “Kids and IT Guys” - aims to provide connections, opportunities and relationships for children living in institutional care in Ukraine.
Today, almost 106,000 Ukrainian children are raised in residential care institutions. After graduation from institutions these children have to return to the communities of their origin, and often they have to start adult life without any support or connections. Most of these children do not have close people who could teach them elementary life skills. No people to show them options for the professions children can choose, or how they can get into particular fields of employment.
One of the most promising areas in Ukraine today is the area of IT. And we want to open the way to this professional field for young people who have the interest, talents and abilities, but who are not aware of the possibilities for their professional realization. That is why we launched the project “Children and IT Guys” - aimed to help children who live in residential institutions in their socialization and career guidance in the field of IT.
During the project - Children will meet IT guys: they will be invited to develop their own game with the support of experienced IT and Game Development professionals. IT guys will conduct the workshops for the children, as well as engage in informal activities with them to form the connection.
At the end of 1st project cycle the kids will be invited to participate in a big IT/Gaming event, where they will be able to present their games (if they wish to do so) and engage in the activities with other participants. Project team is aiming to advocate for the children on the event and will provide info about mentorship as a great way of supporting children in the institutions in Ukraine.
We hope with this project we will help children turn:
isolation into connection,
limited opportunities - to more options,
and abandonment into relationships.

Nei Skoen is based on "two pillars"
Self-help principles and the traditions that go with them
The CARe approach: a recovery and strengths-oriented methodology to support people in their recovery process
Some basic Nei Skoen principles:
Everybody is welcome. Not only people with vulnerabilities but also the neighbors, our family, children and grandchildren and everybody who wants to participate. Zero exclusion.
Everything is for free: meals, coffee, materials to work with and lessons
Anonymity is a core principle. Nei Skoen only wants to know your first name. And no information will ever be shared with others.
Autonomy: Nei Skoen is completely autonomous. If we get funds (for instance from the municipality) we don’t sell our principles
We are of equal value. Regardless of titles, diagnoses and other labels

Now we have "CARe Trainers' Area" for Tepla Trainers and active members of CARe network. An exclusive area where you can safely review our CARe training course, encounters in videos, in photos. A place you can get inspirations about our kind of work.
If you are a Certified CARe Trainer or an active CARe Trainer please sign in.
You can be an active participant in the CARe Network. Together, we want to promote recovery and social inclusion of persons with a mental vulnerability.
We serve a number of areas of development:
Recovery based services
Peer support
Social enterprises
ICT based supports
In order to be able to ensure our activities, we need financial resources for a total of 50.000 Euro a year. Besides occasional donations we receive, we have to ask all of you who participate in our network to make an annual contribution. This can be considered a ‘solidarity fee’. This fee makes it possible that we continue our activities, for example starting a new international train-the-trainer programme and offering sponsorships to professionals and service users.
In the system of the solidarity membership fee we distinguish two categories: individual membership and organisational membership. There are no fixed amounts. Every individual and organisation is free to donate whatever amount he/it considers appropriate. Join:
