ESIPP PARENT EDUCATION PROGRAMME (PEP)

ESIPP project was established to develop and provide parent education (PE) for Croatian, Cypriot and Macedonian families, training 335 family members in total. A parent education curriculum and locally differentiated materials were developed, as well as recommendations for European policymakers.
