For children and young people who have experienced living in alternative child care, separated from their biological families, the process of growing up can be extremely difficult and demanding because they do not have functioning support systems and social networks.
Youth moving sought to empower such youth and provide them with a platform to address those who were responsible for making decisions which affected them.

This short documentary, the Nest, was created by us, FAMO as part of this project. The film follows the experience of four inspirational young woman who have experienced first had alternative child-care.

This project was co-funded by the European Commission’s Erasmus+ Program.

Mindful Media is a 20-month Erasmus+ project that helps care-experienced young people (aged 15–25) understand and challenge online disinformation, including AI-generated content, and create their own ethical media.

Young people today navigate a fast-moving online world of deepfakes, targeted ads and AI-driven persuasion. Those who are in or leaving care can be especially exposed, yet are often left out of the conversation. This project is about changing that.

Young people and youth workers from France, Czechia and Croatia will learn, research and create together. They will build media literacy skills, produce short films, and share their work with the public through screenings and an interactive exhibition called the Democracy Cabin.

The project is led by Les Films de l’Europe (France), with FAMO (Czechia) and the Forum for Quality Foster Care (Croatia).
