Welcome to S.T.E.P., a socio-emotional education program for single parents, aimed to help them gain new skills for self-understanding, manage emotions, communicate to their children and relate to others. This program was created by Asociația Sprijin pentru Mame from Romania and Cultiv Associação de Ideias para a Cultura e Cidadania from Portugal, funded by European Union through Erasmus+ program.
Our project aims to help 40 single parents from Romania and Portugal to improve their socio-emotional skills, including their self-reflection, attentiveness and management of their own emotions, to improve their ways of communication and relationships with others through a theoretical online course and 12 practical group meetings.
This project aims to create a blended socio-emotional education program for single parents from Romania and Portugal, consisting of educational theoretical modules available online and practical non-formal workshops, with the goal of developing their abilities to understand and manage emotions and stress, to ensure better relationships with their own children and those around them, and to thereby improve the quality of life of these parents.
12 chapters structured on topics related to self, recognizing and managing emotions, communication, parenting, and relationships with others.
Four groups of parents will be formed: two in Romania (in Sibiu and Alba Iulia) and two in Portugal (in Serta and Porto). These groups will meet weekly, for 12 weeks, for practical workshops related to the themes of the theoretical modules.
Useful information for parents, trainers and other specialists in the filed of adult education.
