Leaving a Children’s Home: How Old Were You When You Left Home?
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: May 16, 2018, 19:00 – 21:00
Around a thousand young people leave children’s homes every year at the age of 18, or, if they study, at 26. How difficult for them is this phase of their lives? What challenges and pitfalls do they encounter on that path? Are they prepared enough for such a step? Is there a support system? Or aid organisations? How does it actually work? How does it differ from the situation when you left home?
These questions and more will be discussed in a debate featuring Radek Laci from Vteřiny poté; Klára Chábová from the Mimo domov association; youth guardian Lukáš Bachura; children’s home director Ondřej Výborný and Zdenka Marková from the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport.
Marie Froulíková will chair the debate.
