Gävleborg region (SE), member of AER, is looking for partners to join a project they are developing within the Swedish European Social Fund (ESF).

Overview of the project

The project called “Extra Support in Gävleborg”, aims at bringing long-term unemployed immigrants closer to the labour market. The municipalities in Gävleborg will try out different methods and working tools to motivate, train and educate the people born outside Europe and excluded from the labour market. By transnational exchange, the project will gain experience from partners having a background within this field. The project focuses on three themes that will be discussed and compared:

• language
• social entreprise
• successful integration projects, towards further studies and jobs

The project is carried out on a regional level. But there is also a transnational part of the project, as Gävleborg  region wish to gain experiences from international partners, dealing with similar projects or programs, for similar target groups.

Partners searched

Gävleborg region is looking for European partners who are willing to host one transnational meeting and support the project throughout the project period. The idea of the project is to put together at least three groups, consisting of project members from different municipalities, who will visit at least three different partner organisations in Europe. The transnational meetings will consist in study visits and workshops or seminars, which will enable experience sharing.

If you are interested by this opportunity or if you want to learn more about it, please come back to us before 3 September 2018.
