Name of institution: Tranemo municipality
Type of the organization:
  • Administration
Country:
  • Sweden
Thematic scope of the project:
  • Access to employment and social inclusion
  • Better public services
Problems to be solved (justification of the need of the transnational cooperation):

Within the target group unemployed youths aged 16-24 there is a group our institutions fail to reach. These are youths that neither work, study or participate in any other form of activities or programs. The municipality of Tranemo does not have a sufficient understanding of the nature and size of this group and does not have a functioning structure in place to tackle the problems of this group.

In recent years youth unemployment has risen in Tranemo and a new approach is needed to handle the present situation. In the development of new ways to map, understand and find ways to promote social inclusion for our target group transnational cooperation will enrich us and our partner with new perspectives, methods and experience. To find efficient solutions to complex problems it is essential to cooperate with others who share similar problems.

Objectives to be achieved: Exchange of ideas, experience and practice. Possibly comparison of methods in educational, social and employment sector. Specific objectives to be specified with transnational partner Objectives of the pilot study Startskottet/Start Now• Efficient ways to locate youths in our target group - youths excluded from society and its various institutions• Realistic estimate of the size and nature of this group within our municipality Specific objectives to be achieved by future ESF-project not yet determined.
Main transnational activities (as provisionally planned, to be confirmed with partners): To be specified with transnational partner At this stage – our pilot study is barely initiated – we are looking for international partners with problems similar to our own.
