By training specialists, we give adolescents the support they need for an empathetic education adapted to today’s challenges.
From 4 to 6 November 2026, representatives of the Centre of Excellence in Viticulture and Winemaking of Chișinău took part in a training workshop for multidisciplinary teams – school nurses, school psychologists and social educators – from vocational and technical education institutions.
For two and a half days, the participants explored topics essential to supporting adolescents in their development: mental health, interpersonal relationships, risk behaviours, sexual and reproductive health, prevention of gender-based violence and promotion of gender equality. The focus was on creating a friendly, safe school environment that is sensitive to the needs of every young man and young woman.
The training aimed to strengthen the capacities of education specialists to intervene effectively, empathetically and in an informed way to support students, helping to build educational spaces where adolescents feel understood, supported and protected.
The activity took place with the support of UNFPA Moldova, in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Research of the Republic of Moldova and with the support of the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) – partners dedicated to promoting the health and rights of young people and to strengthening the education system through approaches based on rights, equality and inclusion.
