The aim of the programme, financed with Next Generation European Funds, is to create a State Reference Model of Deinstitutionalisation for the attention of this group.
The Itineraries Project of Emancipation of Success (IMEX) is a state project of social innovation in the care of young disabled people, between 18 and 25 years of age, coordinated by the Federation of Entities with Assisted Projects and Flats (FEPA), financed with the Next Generation EU European Recovery Fund, which has the support of the Ministry of Social Rights 2030 and is part of the Spanish Government's Resilience Plan.
In order to improve support for young people who are out of care and at risk of social exclusion, 36 entities, including Suara Cooperativa, started the IMEX project in 2022 with the aim of creating a new care model this collective to accompany them in the transition to adult life.
This ambitious initiative is based on creating, promoting and implementing innovative actions for the emancipation of young people - both in terms of setting objectives and their methodology, resources and concreteness - that establish a new model of support for the group of young people in the entire European area. The shared evaluation system with common indicators will serve to measure and evaluate the current model.
The project has four lines of intervention focused on:
- Housing.
- Job placement.
- Empowerment/emotional well-being.
- Emancipation references.
Suara focuses its youth projects on two specific territories, Girona and Tarragona-Terres de l'Ebre. The initiative incorporates the figure of the accompanying and reference person who offers support to people who present difficulties and/or needs in the last phase of the residential service or once they are already out of the reception system. The intervention project lasts two years, followed by a third year focused on evaluating the intervention process, with the ultimate goal of being able to continue this support beyond this state pilot test.
