The “Daphne III” programme has decided to support IEFC through operating grants because IEFC programme 2009 is contributing
to achieve Daphne III objectives
programme 2009
1)
The network will continue at European level to organise the yearly vocational training of the workers focussing on the prevention and fight against violence towards children, young people, women and to protect victims and the socially stigmatized and/or handicapped persons by mental illness, immigration and poverty.
These vocational trainings are the results of several European projects Leonardo, Joconda nr B/00/B/F/PP-110.023 violence and sexual abuse within the family, Daphne, Jocaste nr. 01-079 / C Violence against women, violence against disabled people, potential violence by professionals, institutional violence, Baltimedia nr JAI/DAP/2004-2/030/YC violence in the workplace, and dissemination to other languages Stop it nr JLS / DAP/2005-2/049WYC, violence and sexual abuse within the family, violence against women and violence in the workplace, Polyphème nr JLS/DAP/2005-2/041 domestic violence related to alcohol problems.
Partners from 12 countries have a national network enabling them to reach a very large number of stakeholders.
According to the available resources, between 10 and 30 workers can be trained in each partner country of the network. Training modules are ready to be released in new languages, Austrian, Italian, Lithuanian, Polish, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Slovenian and for new audiences, networks of new partners in France, Lithuania, Netherlands, Spain and Poland.

2)
Promote the coordination and stimulation of our European network of associations and organizations fighting against violence, discrimination, in favour of wellbeing and social cohesion.
The network was created through the Leonardo Saturne project nr B/03/F/NT-144-005, and by sharing resources, it has now a legal and official status, it is a non-profit organisation according to Belgian law with a methodology including internal assessment based on high-quality procedures.
The transnational meeting is the occasion to gather again and strengthen the ties and unite around the common goals of the network. The agenda includes an overview of the means and resources of partners as well as updating and recall adhesion to work methods, procedures, quality charters. It should support and improve collaboration and ensure the quality of the trainings and other results without loss of time.
The second transnational meeting in December will be the opportunity to assess the progress and development of the activities and should enable adjustment of the actions in order to prepare the future, to work out future strategy and to ensure sustainability of the network.

Strengthen European coordination and cooperation:
- A bilingual website in English and national partners languages for greater dissemination of information and to reach target audiences and beneficiaries controlling only their national language, and for an immigrant public better in control of English as a first site ; site relaying network activities;
- Production and distribution of leaflets informing on available trainings worked out through the Daphne programme;
- Promote through Europe, Daphne vocational trainings that proved successful in the countries of the founding members of IEFC, (eg for successful amendment of the law on professional secrecy with regard to sexual abuse of children within the family in Spain);
We hope to transfer the experience and get similar developments in Lithuania where such training is now available and will be disseminated by the Social & European Innovation Fund training and lobbying in favour of women, to improve child rights, for Lithuania is now in the middle of changes, and in Poland through a new partner/member MISTiA, training operator close to local and regional authorities.
By associating partners from Eastern Europe, Northern Europe with the countries from South and Central Europe, we want to integrate new cultural models and methodology to unite all of Europe towards a social dimension.

Transfer of good practices and support to strengthen the partners in their trainings activities designed thanks to Daphne as to integrate them into the national curriculum of continuous education.
Several countries in Europe have a policy in favour of vocational training, and in light of the Lisbon strategy, it would be appropriate to extend this integrated process of training to other countries less well equipped, based on an exchange of good practices.
The official recognition promotes access to better training for a wider range of stakeholders in the social sector which creates a better understanding of phenomena related to violence, helps to lift taboos, leads to better care for victims and resulted in better prevention.
These actions go along with better information for all, victims, persons at risk, families, contributors in the socio-medico-legal area, economic decision makers (employers, associations), policymakers, social services and initial qualifying social training institutes.

Coordinate events to prevent and fight against discrimination and violence against public risk such as:
- Common events in the countries to inform professionals and stakeholders in the social sector, authorities and media, tools and training materials available in response to the needs of prevention;
- Create collective European events stimulating social cohesion through the reduction of violence because of stigma, discrimination and exclusion target publics and minorities.

6)
Continue expansion of the network and involve networks of users of mental health, victims of violence, perpetrators of violence and immigrant victims of violence in the process of updating training.
These people are the beneficiaries of the services, they evaluate, participate in the development and testing of the trainings, and with an issue of better trained actors to meet their needs.

7)
Evaluate to update in stages, according to priorities and needs established by the partners, existing trainings through educational, scientific and pragmatic network co-operation (tranings Joconda, Pégase, Jocaste, Baltimedia, Polyphème, Stop It).
Although vocational training has proved effective, we must move forward and seek to meet the training needs of social sector in order to maintain the quality and relevance of training because in a constantly changing world, violence is still very present as evidenced by the reports of the United Nations.
The evaluation on the basis of questionnaires will be anonymous and conducted among to target public and users.
They also take part, through the guidance committee, in the updating, testing and validation process of trainings for a better adaptation to their needs.
