Objectives 2009

Thanks to its European actions, IEFC has set up an e-learning educational platform, a network of trainers, and a catalogue of vocational trainings focussing on European issues of violence against children, young people, women, disabled and stigmatised people.

The training modules are available in several languages and are each time culturally adapted. The courses are developed in co-construction with funding from the European Leonardo and Daphne programmes.

Through its actions of coordination, IEFC will carry out its present and future goals, exchanging and sharing network resources to improve stakeholders skills in the social sector as to prevent and fight against violence by submitting new projects, by seeking answers to (new) training needs for the social service sector, by updating the content of existing training courses, through the transfer of contents to new countries and new languages via additional translations of the training modules culturally adapted, validated and tested, by the exchange of best practices between the partners, exploring new tracks of collaboration at European level to prevent and fight against violence, organizing events, targeted information and advertising activities, to inform the general public, stakeholders and policy makers at both local, regional and European level, creating an image in connection with Daphne and its goals of prevention and fight against violence and bring the partnership to optimize and reinforce co-operation with this same aim.

It always involves the beneficiaries of the services such as users of mental health organizations (Be-Together ), of organizations sustaining victims, assisting perpetrators of violence, supporting migrants in its development of training courses and its activities to prevent and fight against violence because the network has extended to partners with organizations defending the rights of the users, (Huis voor de Zorg-Nl ), or collaborating with other European networks such as EuroPsy Rehabilitation and CEFEC.
