EVERYTHING BEGINS WITH THE PEOPLE

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to offer a model of good practice that People Development Foundation, Cluj branch, implements in the social economy domain, for the benefit of young people with disabilities or those from marginalized social groups. The idea to develop the concept of social economy started from a personal experience of the organization and the need found in society. One of the most pressing problems of the last years which addressed our organization is the increased risk of dropout among students. The number of these children has gradually increased, and at the present moment, the children became young adults affected by the inability to integrate on the labor market. Based on examples from our partners abroad and with the help received from our local and national partners, our organization is implementing an integrated program of intervention (social - educational - professional) in a protected workshop which has as main activity the pro-duction of PVC double glazing carpentry.
