Dear colleagues!!!

 For this instrument we are interested in developing Project ideas for Programme Thematic Objective  1. Promotion of social inclusion and fight against poverty: 1.1. Enhancing the access to social and other services for vulnerable groups:

We would like to activating adults from social risk groups for their integration to labour market. This Project would be mainly about 2 directions:

1) implementation of measures to promote the employment of women, people of pre-retirement age and other population groups who are unable to compete on equal terms in the labor market by organizing their employment and (or) creating work place, for example, for women with children at age 0-5

2) integrating ex-prisoners into society (consulting, information services, preparing their return to society, creating assistance service network in the area), and (or) creating work places – like day/employment centres for acquiring work skills, and best practice exchange on creating, finding and supporting jobs for and integration of social risk individuals.  

It seems to be very important for us to find Coordinator of the project with experience in these fields in Lithuania and Latvia.

As for us, we can propose to develop education program and training program for vulnerable group of people with the detailed business plan for its putting into practice. Also we have strong relationship with Vitebsk region administration as one of the partners of the Project, that could be very useful for development special regional program or even some  cross border business incubator in particular small area.
