How the CASTLE project supports children and parents during labor migration

CASTLE

"This project made me realize that it is important to have a good relationship with your parents. Even if they have moved away or are at home, you should always keep in good communication with them," says Maksym, a student at Dolyna Lyceum #7.

For two years, in the project "CASTLE-Children Left Behind: Supporting Moldovan and Ukrainian Transnational Families in the EU", we have been working with government officials to provide them with recommendations on policies to protect children whose parents have moved abroad. We also work with children to hear their voices and opinions, and with parents to educate them and improve their understanding of how to communicate with their children.
