On June 8, 2020, the final online conference for project BG05M9OP001-2.009-0006-C01 “Growing Up is a Mission” was held. The project was funded by the Operational Programme “Human Resources Development 2014-2020” and co-financed by the European Union through the European Structural and Investment Funds. Participants both small and large joined the conference to share the most useful and lasting results from the implementation of the three programs. These programs covered training in life skills, career guidance, and improving relationships with relatives and family.

The project aimed to support children and young people from Family-type Accommodation Centers in Sofia and Plovdiv. According to the gathered conclusions, the camps in Plovdiv were the most memorable and beneficial aspects of the project for the participants. They were also grateful for the Art Studio, where they were able to create unique souvenirs, jewelry, greeting cards, and more. The Cooking Studio was also a significant highlight, where they learned to prepare both easy and more complex dishes and sweets.
