Description (LT): Bendrieji teritoriniai iššūkiai, kurie bus sprendžiami projekto įgyvendinimo metu, yra šie: padidėjęs socialinių paslaugų poreikis regionuose, nepakankami socialinių paslaugų teikėjų pajėgumai, nepakankamas bendradarbiavimas tarp socialinių paslaugų ir socialinės integracijos srityse dirbančių paslaugų teikėjų.
Projekto tikslas yra skatinti pažeidžiamų grupių socialinę įtrauktį, gerinant socialinių paslaugų prieinamumą ir efektyvumą Pakruojo (Lietuva), Rundalės ir Iecavos (Latvija) savivaldybėse.
Siekiant užtikrinti socialinių paslaugų efektyvumą, 16 Latvijos ir Lietuvos specialistų kels savo kvalifikaciją ir gerins žinias, dalyvaudami 8 jungtiniuose seminaruose. Seminarų metu specialistai mokysis, kaip reikia stiprinti motyvaciją, valdyti stresą dirbant su klientais, kaip dirbti su psichinėmis ligomis sergančiais asmenimis ir su jų šeimos nariais, kaip gerinti pagyvenusių žmonių gyvenimo kokybę. 7 iš specialistų dalyvaus mokomajame pažintiniame vizite ir lankysis Švedijos socialinėse įstaigose, kad galėtų susipažinti su geraisiais tos šalies pavyzdžiais socialinėje srityje.
Projekto įgyvendinimo metu numatoma teikti naują – lankomosios priežiūros – socialinę paslaugą. Taip pat bus įgyvendinta 12 socialinės įtraukties priemonių: 3 švietėjiškos veiklos užsiėmimai (pamokos šeimų, kuriose yra sergančių sunkiomis, psichinėmis ligomis, nariams; užsiėmimų ciklas pagyvenusiems asmenims ir asmenims, turintiems priklausomybių; amato pradmenų ir gyvenimo įgūdžių mokymai), 8 socialinės reabilitacijos veiklos (atokvėpio ir masažo paslaugos, terapija muzika, menu ir šokiu, atsipalaidavimo terapija asmenims su psichine negalia, fizioterapija ir kineziterapija, vasaros stovyklos). Projekto įgyvendinimo metu bus pagerinta 3 socialinių paslaugų teikėjų: Linkuvos socialinių paslaugų centro, Iecavos ir Rundalės savivaldybių socialinių paslaugų skyrių infrastruktūra ir materialinė bazė, todėl klientams bus galima teikti aukštesnės kokybės paslaugas.
Planuojama, kad projekto veiklose dalyvaus 600 socialiai pažeidžiamų asmenų ir jie turės galimybę pasinaudoti labiau prieinamomis bei veiksmingesnėmis socialinei įtraukčiai skirtomis priemonėmis ir naujomis socialinėmis paslaugomis.

Projekta mērķis ir uzlabot sociālo pakalpojumu pieejamību un efektivitāti Pakrojas (Lietuva), Rundāles un Iecavas (Latvija) pašvaldībās.
Lai nodrošinātu sociālo pakalpojumu efektivitāti, 16 sociālajā jomā strādājošie speciālisti no Latvijas un Lietuvas uzlabos savu kvalifikāciju un zināšanas, piedaloties 8 kopīgos semināros. Semināru laikā speciālisti apgūs stresa noturības prasmes darbā ar klientiem, paņēmienus personu ar garīga rakstura traucējumiem integrēšanai sabiedrībā, uzlabos darbu ar personām, kurām ir garīga rakstura traucējumi, kā arī viņu ģimenēm un apgūs paņēmienus, kā uzlabot senioru dzīves kvalitāti. Septiņi sociālie darbinieki piedalīsies mācību braucienā uz Zviedriju, lai iepazītu labāko sociālo pakalpojumu sniegšanas praksi, ko būtu iespējams pārņemt un pielietot.
Projekta ietvaros tiks ieviests jauns sociālais pakalpojums – aprūpe mājās; īstenoti 12 sociālās integrācijas pasākumi – trīs izglītojošas aktivitātes (nodarbības ģimenēm, kurās ir personas ar garīga rakstura traucējumiem vai ar smagām slimībām; nodarbību cikls senioriem un personām ar atkarības vai līdzatkarības problēmām; amatniecības nodarbības un ikdienas dzīvē nepieciešamo prasmju apguve), 8 sociālās rehabilitācijas aktivitātes: atelpas brīža (īslaicīgas sociālās palīdzības) un masāža pakalpojumi, mūzikas, mākslas un dejas terapija, relaksācijas terapija personām ar garīga rakstura traucējumiem, fizioterapija, kā arī vasaras rehabilitācijas nometnes). Tiks uzlabota Linkuvas sociālo pakalpojumu centra, Iecavas un Rundāles novadu sociālo dienestu infrastruktūra un iegādāts nepieciešamais aprīkojums, lai uzlabotu sociālo pakalpojumu kvalitāti.
Plānots, ka projekta aktivitātēs piedalīsies 600 sociāli neaizsargātās personas, kuras gūs labumu no projekta, jo tiks uzlabota sociālo pakalpojumu pieejamība un efektivitāte, kā arī radīta iespēja saņemt jaunus pakalpojumus.
Read more Description (EN): The common territorial challenges that the project will tackle are as follows: increased demand for the social services in the regions, insufficient capacities of the social service providers, insufficient cooperation in the field of social services and social integration.
The aim of the project is to improve accessibility and efficiency of social services in Pakruojis (Lithuania), Rundale and Iecava (Latvia) municipalities for social inclusion of vulnerable groups.
In order to ensure efficiency of social services 16 Latvian and Lithuanian specialists will improve their qualification by participating in 8 joint seminars. During the seminars specialists will learn how to strengthen their motivation, manage stress while working with clients, how to work with persons with mental diseases and with their family members and how to improve senior’s life quality. 7 of them will participate in a study visit to social services offices in Sweden to experience first hand the best practices implemented in the country.
During the project new social service - home care service – will be created. 12 social inclusion measures will be implemented: 3 educational activities (lessons for family members of persons with mental dysfunctionalities, severe illnesses; lectures for seniors and for persons with addiction and co-addiction problems; training of craft acquisition and life skills), 8 social rehabilitation activities (respite and massage services, music, art, dance therapy, relax therapy for persons with mental disabilities, physiotherapy as well as summer rehabilitation camps. Social infrastructure of 3 social providers: Linkuva social services center, Iecava and Rundale municipalities social services departments will be improved and necessary equipment for better quality social services will be acquired.
It is planned that in the project activities will participate 600 socially vulnerable people and they will be benefiting from more accessible, efficient social inclusion measures and new social services.
Read more Achievements (EN): On 30th October 2020 the final Project No. LLI-344 “Social partnership – integration of socially vulnerable people into community life” (Social Life) conference took place – the project partners successfully crossed the finish line of the project, which took more than two years to implement. Although the conference, considering the threat of COVID-19 and the existing restrictions, was held remotely, it did not prevent the representatives of the partners from Pakruojis (Lithuania), Rundale and Iecava (Latvia) municipalities who participated in the conference to enjoy the successful cooperation of the partners and the achieved results of the project.
Thanks to the financing of the European Regional Development Fund, the quality of social services provided in three social institutions of Pakruojis, Rundale and Iecava municipalities has been significantly improved:
new social service – home care service – was created in Rundale municipality and during the project implementation service was provided to 20 persons;
new subdivision of Linkuva Social Services Center has been established where respite services for the elderly will be provided. Furniture, equipment and a modern multisensory room equipment required for the subdivision work were purchased from the project budget;
improved infrastructure and material base of Linkuva social services center, Iecava and Rundale municipalities social services departments: specialized vehicles needed to serve persons, technical aids, furniture and equipment for physiotherapy room and music rehabilitation premises were bought, as well as kitchen furniture with household appliances, sewing machines, tools and other small appliances needed to organize activities for socially vulnerable persons were purchased;
12 social inclusion measures were implemented: 3 educational activities (lessons for family members of persons with mental dis-functionalities, severe illnesses, a cycle of activities for the elderly, for persons with addiction and co-addiction problems, training of craft acquisition and life skills), 8 social rehabilitation activities (respite and massage services, drama, art therapy and multifunctional light, sound, sensory therapy, relaxation therapy for multi-child families, physiotherapy and physiotherapy, summer camps) and socio-cultural events.
The main aim of the project was to improve accessibility and efficiency of social services in Pakruojis (Lithuania), Rundale and Iecava (Latvia) municipalities for social inclusion of vulnerable groups – it was planned to involve 600 socially vulnerable people in the project activities. The evaluation of the achieved results revealed that the result was exceeded – during the implementation of the project more than 800 socially vulnerable persons benefited from more accessible, efficient social inclusion measures and new social services.
It is obvious that without high-qualified specialists working in the social field it would not be possible to achieve such good results, therefore investment in human resources is equally important – to ensure the efficiency of social services, project partners organized 8 joint seminars in which specialists learned how to strengthen their motivation, manage stress while working with clients. Specialists also learned how to work with persons with mental disabilities and with their family members and how social service providers can improve seniors’ life quality. 7 specialists participated in a study visit in Sweden – they visited Swedish social institutions, where they got acquainted with it’s best examples in the social field.
“This project had a significant impact on both the social vulnerable persons who participated in the project activities and the staff of the social institutions. We really felt the benefits. We all interacted with project partners. In order to ensure the continuity of the project and extend such friendly communication between specialists and project participants, from our own funds we plan to continue the most popular activities carried out during the project – we agreed with partners to organize joint summer camps for participants and seminars for employees”, said Daiva Rutkevičienė, Head of the Social Welfare Department of Pakruojis District Municipality Administration (Deputy Project Manager).
