In Pskov PROBO (Pskov Regional Social Charity Organization) “ME AND YOU” arranged a seminar for specialists during 15th – 22th of March. It was attended by 10 social workers, who are to accompany young people with disabilities in the time of their independent living. For those who`s unaware of it: two flats of self-supporting living were opened by the organization in January.

The seminar included theoretical (20 hours) and practical (20 hours) parts.

Theoretical knowledge was oriented on:
