About Project:

In the context of the European socio-economic crisis and an increased risk of social exclusion, one of the most important tasks of social policy towards adults and the elderly / disabled is to promote personal skills, create conditions for implementation and strengthen personal attitudes. The problems identified in this project are the result of the analysis carried out with the partners during the meeting in Warsaw. Living in different realities, we all agreed that we need to include a group of weak individuals in society. The goal of this project is to define, exchange and implement good practices to include them.

Project Aim:

Project aim is investigating and implementing at least 1-2 new approaches towards the inclusion of people in danger of social exclusion from partners’ organizations of different scope, suitable to implement in their everyday work and for benefit of their beneficiaries.
