The initiative for Youth Ambassadors was born during the project “React Act Prevent Sexual Violence Through Youth Work, funded by the Erasmus+ of the EU. At the moment 20 young people in Cyprus have been nominated as Youth Ambassadors. They represent a team of dynamic, energetic young activists who have developed conscious and concern about the negative impact and consequences of sexual violence on victims and have the strong desire to work towards sensitization and awareness raising against sexual violence. The Road to Freedom, is a 24-month Erasmus+ EU project that includes 6 organizations from 6 European countries working on a support program for inmates and ex-inmates in and after incarceration in prisons through proven FROG leadership and life-mastery training and peer mentoring.

Aim: The project aims to teach and implement methods to inmates and ex-inmates to break the vicious cycle of criminality and multiple prison stays through personal empowerment. Target Groups: The project’s target groups are firstly convicts and ex-convicts and secondly marginalized groups everywhere in the world as well as several stakeholders (such as trained peers).

GOAL OF THE PROJECT
To empower and impart life enhancing skills to prisoners and ex-offenders to engage in community
and the labor market during and after imprisonment through peer mentoring and online support network as
well as an open resource training platform.
