Research shows that re-integration to the society is very difficult for young (ex)offenders. The ""Second Chance"" project focuses on non-discrimination, which is the goal of European policies of Education & Youth. Partners from Lithuania, Vietnam, South Africa and Peru join the forces with an intention to exchange the good practices in young offenders' social integration field & diminish the society's stigma towards these people (since it also poses a barrier to the successful integration).Main AIM: help young people prevent from offending and improve youth work methods of crimes’ prevention and re-integration.OBJECTIVES to reach this aim:-develop YWs’ understanding of youth delinquency;-identify the most common crimes youth are committing in participants’ countries & find ways (NFE methods) to reduce them;-launch, test & develop a training programme on “the prevention of youth re-offending”;-equip YWs with knowledge, key competences & employable tools that would help prevent young offenders from reoffending;-foster capacity building and new social initiatives in the field of youth work related to tackling youth crime;-increase transnational cooperation & exchange of good practices between target groups on the issue;-spread project’s ideas to wider audiences.TARGET GROUPSYouth workers & young leaders who:- work with vulnerable groups (among them young offenders);- face social, economic, geographic or cultural obstacles INDIRECT TARGET GROUP- A wider audience of youth workers & young people;- Young offenders in the partner communities and beyond.ACTIVITIES-Research on youth crime & integration in partner countries;-3 short-term training courses in Vietnam, Peru and South Africa;-Job shadowing to exchange and implement different practices on (ex-)offenders' integration;-E-learning platform for youth workers willing to work with young (ex-)offenders;-""Social Shock"" contest & campaign to break stigmas towards (ex-)offenders;-Public photo exhibition ""On Goodness"" in Vilnius, Lithuania to change the opinion towards people in prison;-Local educational activities with youth at risk / young offenders;-Local and international conferences;-And others.All of this improves the capacity of youth workers to help young (ex)offenders and facilitate the integration processes of the latter."
