Failure is not the enemy, but a life-changing experience.
It is a human experience, and it prepares the way for us to grow and transform our lives.

SPD Project ”Implementation of the New Social Methods for Strengthening of the Drug Addicts’ Work Integration”

From 01 01 2007 nonprofit organization Studio of Self-Awareness and Self-Realization started running the Project “Implementation of the New Social Methods for Strengthening of the Drug Addicts’ Work Integration”. The project was succesfully finished in 2008 July.

The support from EU Structural Funds for Lithuania in 2004-2008 is provided under the Single Programming Document for 2004-2008 (hereinafter – the SPD) approved by the Government of the Republic of Lithuania and by the European Commission. The SPD established five investment priorities: development of social and economic infrastructure, human resource development, development of productive sector, rural and fisheries development, and technical assistance. Our project fits in to the second SPD priority “Human Resource Development”. Partner of that project is Ignalina region women’s society “Aušrinė”.

Main goal of the project is to increase the possibilities of the integration in the labour market for the drug addicts and to stop the formation of young people’s addictional behaviour. The activities of the project are directed to fulfill the needs of the target group members to get knowledge and practical experiences in the work search, to develop social competences, self presentation skills and perception of the others. In the project’s seminars will be used traditional teaching methods: theoretical material, lectures and discussions and to make learning process for target group more efficient will be used some elements of Playback theater. We hope that Playback theater’s elements will be useful for establishment of the safe and creative environment for participants where they can share their individual experiences and mutual ideas in the particular field of learning.
