Ove began by assisting children who had become infectected with HIV at multiple hospitals in the Craiova area. He received support from contacts in Norway to help the children and this led to the Adina Foundation\u2019s establishment in 2001. The partner organization Adina Stiftelsen Foundation Romania was founded in 2004.

In order for the inclusion of any group to be successful there needs to be a shared space and understanding by participants so that they can openly communicate their goals and opinions with each other. Collectively, a unified youth group is then better at expressing their needs and thereby making plans to exercise their rights. This is the method that Adina Foundation Norway has used with previous youth groups in order to facilitate open and productive dialogue that can then be acted upon.<\/p>\n<\/q><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1643287075451\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"dt-fancy-separator title-left text-big accent-border-color\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><div class=\"dt-fancy-title bg-on\"><span class=\"separator-holder separator-left\"><\/span>Ronja, tell us about V13 and Empo programmes succesfully implemented in Norway.

Empo offers a meeting place where groups participate in vocational training, seminars, individual counselling, teamwork as well as social, cultural and professional activities. Our goal is to motivate every beneficiary we meet to be the best version of herself or himself by activating their own skills, building their own network and setting their own goals. This method is knowns as <em>empowerment <\/em>and it is a method that can be transferred to beneficiaries in Romania. We believe that Adina will find this to be a useful and successful method in implementing the projects in Romania.<\/p>\n<p><strong>V13<\/strong> started in 1993 in Bergen, mainly as an initiative for at-risk youth aged 13-18.
