The current schedule is to apply for Erasmus+ support to launch a 3-year-long project in 2025.

The group, called BreakAway Network, benefits from the financial support of ERASMUS+ for a preliminary study, with the aim of launching a major study between 2024 and 2026.

In the preliminary phase, a questionnaire is being sent out and replies analysed by all six partners ; respondents include social workers and directors from both the judicial and social institutions ; other charities and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) from all five countries and experts involved in work to help young people in social difficulty find a new future.
Results of the preliminary project are expected by summer, 2023 ; defining, financing and rolling out the major project will be decided thereafter.
