Introduction
Terre des hommes (Tdh) is the leading Swiss child relief agency. Founded in 1960, we are committed to improving the lives of millions of the world's most vulnerable children. Through our innovative health, protection and emergency aid projects, we provide assistance to over three million children and their families in almost forty countries each year.
In Europe, Terre des hommes has operational programmes in Albania, Kosovo, Moldova, Romania, Ukraine, and Greece. We also work together with partners to create regional projects, synergies and develop transnational solutions to problems such as child trafficking or the protection of children on the move. Tdh’s activity in Europe is coordinated by the regional office in Hungary, opened in 2005.

Mandate
Terre des hommes Romania (Tdh) needs a digital concept to convey, put forward and promote its current ACTIV project, implemented by three Tdh delegations (Romania, Ukraine and Moldova). We wish to create a website that will help us to display and share widely the messages within this project.
ACTIV
With the ACTIV project (two years), we aim to reduce gender-based violence (GBV) in schools. The agents of change will be pupils, school staff, parents and communities who will play a key role in creating a culture of gender equality and equity. We will approach the gender-based violence issue through activities addressed to 375 teachers and 250 pupils from 25 schools in Romania, Moldova, and Ukraine. In Romania we will involve schools from the vulnerable communities in Olt, Dolj, Gorj, Bucuresti and Bacau.
Goals of the website
- To show, promote, and widely disseminate the activities within the project, especially those initiated by children and teachers;
- To design a layout that caters for a mixed audience: the general public, children, teachers;
- To raise awareness regarding gender based violence in schools, its causes, risks and effects;
Target groups
- General public, traditional media, and decision-makers in Romania, Moldova and Ukraine;
- Teachers, parents, and the local community;
- Children and youth aged 11 -15.
