Description (EN):

Project "Development of Multifunctional Centers as Driver for Social Inclusion and Development of Local Community" Similar demographic and social changes occur in the regions of Latvia and Lithuania: there is an aging population; demographic burden is rising; the number of people with functional disorders are on the rise; rural and peripheral areas are of higher risk of poverty. In the meantime availability of social workers decreases. Therefore demand for local multifunctional centres with effective social services and social inclusion measures in rural areas of regions is rising. Therefore Zemgale Planning Region, together with six municipalities of Latvia and Lithuania, has developed a project aimed to promote accessibility of social services and promote social inclusion of people with disabilities and predictable disability, seniors, families with children with disabilities and children and youth at risk by creation and improvement of multifunctional centres where social inclusion measures and social services will be provided. In two years, 4 new social services like day center, day care center, community center, multifunctional social service center will be created in Jelgava, Dobele (Auce), Bauska (Vecumnieki) and Plunge municipalities. 14 new social inclusion measures will be offered in Jelgava, Birži and Rokiški municipalities: sensory room, art and theatre studio, English language courses, music making, sports, new technologies and information training for seniors, lectures for parents with children with disabilities, school of social skills, leisure camps for children etc.. Specialists from partner municipalities will participate in four experience exchange trips and three day long training event. Guidelines for multi-functional centres where social services and social inclusion measures such as cultural and sporting activities for vulnerable groups are implemented successfully together will be created. Project partners will pilot such joint social inclusion measures like cross-border event for seniors, camp for children at risk, festival for disabled people. After pilot activities social measures will be evaluated and upgraded. As the result of the project, multifunctional centres in project will be improved and social services and social inclusion measures in Latvia and Lithuania regions will become more accessible to at least 706 people with disabilities and predictable disability, seniors, families with children with disabilities and children and youth at risk.

Description (LV):

Projekts "Daudzfunkcionālo centru - vietējās kopienas sociālās iekļaušanas un izaugsmes veicinātāju attīstība". Gan Latvijas, gan Lietuvas reģionos notiek līdzīgas demogrāfiskas izmaiņas: sabiedrības novecošana un demogrāfiskās slodzes pieaugums, pieaug cilvēku skaits ar funkcionālajiem traucējumiem, laukos pastāv lielāks nabadzības risks. Tajā pašā laikā samazinās sociālo darbinieku pieejamība un pieaug pieprasījums pēc daudzfunkcionālajiem centriem ar efektīvākiem sociālajiem pakalpojumiem un sociālās iekļaušanas pasākumiem. Tādēļ Zemgales plānošanas reģions kopā ar sešām Latvijas un Lietuvas pašvaldībām ir izstrādājis projektu, kura mērķis ir veicināt sociālo pakalpojumu pieejamību un veicināt cilvēku ar funkcionālajiem traucējumiem, senioru, riska grupas ģimeņu sociālo iekļaušanu, izveidojot vai uzlabojot multifunkcionālos centrus, kuros tiks nodrošināti sociālie pakalpojumi un iekļaušanas pasākumi arī riska grupas jauniešiem un bērniem. Divu gadu laikā Jelgavas, Dobeles (Auce), Bauskas (Vecumnieku) novados un Plunges pašvaldībā tiks veidoti četri jauni sociālie pakalpojumi – dienas centrs, dienas aprūpes centrs, kopienas centrs un multifunkcionālais sociālo pakalpojumu centrs. Savukārt Jelgavas novada, Biržu un Rokišķu pašvaldībās tiks piedāvāti 14 jauni sociālās iekļaušanas pasākumi: sensorā istaba, mākslas un teātra studijas, angļu valodas kursi, mūzikas un sporta nodarbības, jauno tehnoloģiju mācības senioriem, mācību kursi vecākiem ar bērniem ar funkcionālajiem traucējumiem, bērnu atpūtas nometnes u.c. Partneru pašvaldību speciālisti piedalīsies četros pieredzes apmaiņas braucienos un trīs dienu mācību pasākumā. Tiks izveidotas vadlīnijas daudzfunkcionālajiem centriem, lai veiksmīgāk īstenotu dažādus sociālos pakalpojumus un iekļaušanas pasākumus, piemēram, kultūras, sporta un izglītojošas aktivitātes dažādām mazaizsargātām grupām. Projekta laikā projekta partneri izmēģinās vairākus kopīgus sociālās iekļaušanas pasākumus: pārrobežu pasākums senioriem, nometne riska grupas bērniem, svētki bērniem ar invaliditāti. Pēc izmēģināšanas visi iekļaujošie pasākumi tiks izvērtēti un pilnveidoti. Projekta rezultātā jaunie un uzlabotie multifunkcionālie centri un tajos piedāvāties sociālie pakalpojumi un iekļaušanas pasākumi Latvijas un Lietuvas reģionos kļūs pieejamāki vismaz 706 cilvēkiem ar funkcionālajiem traucējumiem, senioriem, ģimenēm ar bērniem ar invaliditāti un bērniem, jauniešiem, kas pakļauti riskam.

Description (LT):

Projektas „Daugiafunkcių centrų stiprinimas socialinių paslaugų prieinamumui ir efektyvumui gerinti”. Latvijos ir Lietuvos regionuose vyksta panašūs demografiniai pokyčiai: gyventojų senėjimas, demografinės situacijos blogėjimas, didėjantis žmonių su įvairiomis negaliomis skaičius, aukšta skurdo rizika toliau nuo miestų esančiose ir kaimo vietovėse bei žemas specialistų pasiekiamumas. Dėl šių priežasčių didėja socialinių paslaugų ir socialinės įtraukties priemonių kaimo vietovėse poreikis. Siekiant sumažinti šių pokyčių poveikį, Žemgalės planavimo regionas kartu su šešiomis Latvijos ir Lietuvos savivaldybėmis parengė projektą, kuriuo siekiama didinti bendruomenei reikalingų paslaugų prieinamumą, skatinti žmonių su neįgalia, senjorų, šeimų, auginančių vaikus su negalia bei rizikos grupei priklausančių vaikų ir jaunimo socialinę įtrauktį, kuriant daugiafunkcius centrus ir tobulinant juose teikiamas paslaugas ir priemones. Per du metus Jelgavos, Dobele (Aucės), Bauska (Vecumniekų) ir Plungės savivaldybėse atsiras keturi nauji, socialines paslaugas teikiantys centrai: dienos, dienos priežiūros, bendruomenės ir daugiafunkcis socialinių paslaugų. Jelgavos, Biržų ir Rokiškio savivaldybėse bus teikiama 14 įvairių naujų paslaugų: sensorinis kambarys, meno ir teatro studija, anglų kalbos kursai, muzikos, sporto, naujųjų informacinių technologijų mokymai senjorams, paskaitos tėvams, auginantiems vaikus su negalia, socialinių įgūdžių gerinimo užsiėmimai, jaunimo stovyklos ir kt. Partnerių savivaldybių specialistai dalyvaus keturiose patirties pasikeitimo išvykose ir trijų dienų mokymuose. Bus parengtos daugiafunkcių centrų, kuriuose kartu sėkmingai įgyvendinamos socialinės paslaugos ir socialinės įtraukties priemonės, pavyzdžiui, kultūrinė ir sportinė veikla pažeidžiamoms grupėms, gairės. Projekto partneriai išbandys tokias bendras socialinės įtraukties priemones kaip bendradarbiavimo abipus sienos renginys senjorams, stovykla rizikos grupės vaikams ir šventė neįgaliesiems. Įgyvendintos pilotinės priemonės bus įvertintos ir atnaujintos. Laukiamas projekto rezultatas- Latvijos ir Lietuvos regionuose prieinamesnės socialinės paslaugos ir socialinės įtraukties priemonės ne mažiau kaip 706 asmenims su negalia, senjorams, šeimoms, auginančiioms vaikus su negalia bei rizikos grupei priklausantiems vaikams ir jaunimui.
