The Tulip Foundation team visited its partner - Everton Nursery School and Family Centre in Liverpool, UK, under the EFECTS programme.

We invited Iva Boneva, Director of the Centre for Inclusive Education and Mrs. Mila Tashkova from the National Network for Children, to join us during this visit to exchange experience.

The visit began with a reception at the Liverpool Town Hall hosted by Mrs. Ross Gladen, the Lord Mayor of Liverpool.

The topic of the partner meeting was "Support for families in education and counseling, including families of immigrants. Concepts for child safety in family centers and educational institutions in different countries.”

For nearly a week, we looked at the activities of various Liverpool children's centres. We visited Stoneycroft, Anfield, Fountains and Fazakerley. The main part of the program was held at the Everton Nursery School and Family Centre.

Our British colleagues presented us how they work in kindergarten, nursery and family centre. The different centres offer different combination of services that are planned and developed depending on the neighborhood and the needs of the people living there. The main focus in the work of the centres is to involve parents and family members in all forms of work with children, to provide a variety of useful and important information for parents and a combination of services and support to facilitate and engage parents.

Colleagues from Germany, Croatia, Sweden and Bulgaria were asking many questions and sharing their observations.

The Effects project is being implemented within the Erasmus + program and with the support of the European Commission.
