The project is focusing on the social inclusion of drug users and people working in the sex business through practical work training in the ZÓNA contact centre in Sereď. Clients working in the exteriors or interiors of the centre increase their practical work skills. The motivation for them is the fulfilment of an individual goal (e.g. obtaining allowance for the identity card, reducing debts in a health insurance company, paying a doctor, housing, etc.).
The project is focused on meaningfulness and reality. It takes into account the complex life situations of clients, their possibilities and brings the most functional model of possible help. Working with active drug users or people in the sex business has its specifics, which is taken into account when composing the basic methodology of the project. No one carries out similar activities in the town of Sereď and the entire Nitra and Trnava regions. Clients have the opportunity to gradually, based on their own decision and time management, work out what they need. In addition to certain work skills, they also gain a sense of self-confidence, respect and ability. We teach clients to communicate with authorities in person and electronically and to orient themselves in bureaucratic conditions. At the same time, the project is co-creating a new perspective on this target group in the eyes of the public, the authorities or institutions. The project also participates in breaking down prejudices against the clients and increase their chances for a better life.
The project will be beneficiary for vulnerable groups, drug users, people working in the sex business by helping them to find the way out of their current situation and find ou what they need and based on this maybe a job too.
