Andra chansen (The second chance)

Name of institution: Muncipality of Uppsala
Type of the organization:
  • Administration
Country:
  • Sweden
Thematic scope of the project:
  • Education and training
Problems to be solved (justification of the need of the transnational cooperation):

Give “drop outs” a start so they can return to the schoolsystem or start to work.

In our Second chance-project we work with young people between 17-20 years old, who neither attend school nor work. One of the most important aims of our work is to build up their self-confidence. This is essential for them in order to be able to build a future of their own. They also need to be aware of the possibilities with the EU.  Work-experience in another country could be very developing. We would like to find partners who work with similar projects and with whom we could exchange experience.
Similar transnational projects have shown that young people that have had work-experience in another country develop. They also improve their language, their working skills and also get a new perspective of themselves. Some of the participants of our project have not been abroad before. Therefore the travel to another European country can be a great step for them

Objectives to be achieved: The planned outputs are that the participants will gain better self -confidence and a better knowledge of the posibilities in the EU. Expected outcomes will be if our participants will try to work in another country.
Main transnational activities (as provisionally planned, to be confirmed with partners): We have a plan for how we work with gender equality and non-discrimination principles in the project. And this is an important working area in our project. The plan has two parts, the firstpart is where the law and  the regulations tells us about equality an non-discrimination, and the second part as where we have tha plan for the everyday work.
