The You Belong! System provides a path out for trapped, disadvantaged, predominantly Roma people. YBS is distinct from currently available models of integration in that it functions as a system with a long-term time span: the holistic, education-focused socialization of children begins in the womb and continues throughout their life till tertiary education or employment. It is based on partnership and two-sided commitment. It is characterized by services, institutions and a unique methodology building on each other such as a system of patrons, involvement of families, creativity-focus.
