Together Against Poverty (TAP)
As member organization of the RWCT International Consortium, the Romanian RWCT Association is actively involved in the implementation of the Erasmus+ KA2 project Together against Poverty (reference number: 2014-1-PL01-KA204-003326).
The project is implemented by a consortium of 6 partner institutions:
- Center for Education and Enterprise Support Association – Poland (coordinator)
- Confederación Española de Centros de Enseñanza – Spain
- Mittetulundusühing MITRA – Estonia
- Centro Servizi per il Volontariato Sviluppo e Solidarietà in Piemonte – Italy
- Consortiul International Lectura si Scrierea pentru Dezvoltarea Gandirii Critice – Romania

Description of the project: The project is the result of the diagnosed gap between the real needs of people from both target groups. This gap results from misunderstanding the problem of the risk of poverty and social exclusion and inadequate support. The main Intellectual Outputs are related to planned actions undertaken in two stages of the project. In the first stage – research – it has been planned to conduct a thorough study of poverty and social exclusion, supplemented with the study of social security models. These actions are expected to produce the following outputs:
- Research paper on poverty;
- Research paper on the functioning of social security models.
This stage will run from 01/09/2014 to 31/08/2015.
The second stage – workshops – involves development of a training methodology and providing workshops for the two target groups. The results produced at this stage are:
- Methodology for conducting workshops targeted at groups of people at risk of poverty and social exclusion;
- Methodology for conducting workshops targeted at decision-makers and social policy makers.
This stage will run from 01/09/2015 to 31/08/2016.
Duration: 1 September 2013 – 31 August 2016
