*[[A Method for the Empowerment of Torture Survivors (METS)]]
METS project is funded by European Commission within the framework of the Preparatory Action “Funding for the rehabilitation of victims of torture” and led by the Stichting Arq in the Netherlands. Future Worlds Center is one of the six partner organisations in Europe. METS supplements the multidisciplinary rehabilitation services offered to the torture survivors by the Humanitarian Affairs Unit since 2006.
In the context of METS, the project partners work together towards developing a standard empowerment method to the needs of torture survivors in a variety of EU-countries, that is cost effective and standard yet suitable for different local contexts. This empowerment method will be piloted in 6 rehabilitation centers in Europe and 150 torture survivors are expected to be benefited during the duration of METS (April 2016 – March 2018).
