Project Proposal to create a Thematic Network on "Social innovation in relation to active inclusion measures that support / empower disadvantaged groups to access the labour market".
URBACT II Programme 2nd CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR THE CREATION OF 12 THEMATIC NETWORKS AND 3 WORKING GROUPS
This proposal has the overall goal of assisting partner organisations to develop Local Action Plans which will address local needs. These Local Action Plans will seek to secure funding from Operational programmes for ESF/ERDF or other EU or national funds.
To realise the overall aims the project would have the following key objectives:
- To establish a transnational exchange programme across 8- 10 cities/regions. The proposed theme for the transnational exchange programme would be "Social innovation in relation to active inclusion measures that support / empower disadvantaged groups to access the labour market".We would look to establish a network of cities and regions that would focus on:
o Ethnic minorities
o People with disabilities
o Vulnerable groups(ex-offenders, homeless, etc)
- Establishment of a Local Support Group gathering key stakeholders concerned by the issues and policies addressed by the project. The main aim of the Local Support Groups is to spread the learning from trans-national exchanges to a broader cross-section of local stakeholders and to ensure that the lessons learnt lead to change at a local level.
- Each LSG will have a local facilitator. This is someone who will work with the LAG and develop a programme of local activities(consultation; dissemination; a "local"(sub-regional, regional, national);local media involvement ). This person has to be able to work in English at transnational level.
- Each LSG will produce a Local Action Plan. This will be a multi stakeholder, co-production that the transnational and local programme of activities will support
- Facilitate bi-lateral/trilateral exchanges between LSG members in the partner cities. These would complement the transnational exchange programme and allow more in- depth transfer of learning and practice.
- Create a web site resource which would include:
o Sub-Theme reports
o Links to relevant websites
o Publications / Reports
o Contacts with regional/city/national/European actors
- Develop actions within the Local Action Plans that could form part of the participating partners regional operational programmes(ERDF/ESF)
- Disseminate the project outcomes to other cities and regions
