Balance
With the project “BALANCE – Berufliche Alternativen Leben – Alleinerziehenden Neue Chancen Einräumen” (Living Professional Alternatives – Providing Single Parents New Opportunities), long-term unemployed single parents living in the Elbe-Elster region received intensive and individual attention for the first time.
Project Duration
2009 – 2012
The aim of the project was to integrate long-term unemployed single parents into the employment sector and to strengthen their social participation. Over a period of 30 months, in two funding phases of 15 months each, the target group of single parents were addressed who received social welfare, who were between 28 and 50 years old and had a vocational school diploma. The project enabled a total of over 100 single parents to enter the project. “Generationen gehen gemeinsam” (G3) e.V. was responsible for project management, project administration and public relations. The team received special support from Dr. Michael Thomas of the Berlin-Brandenburg Institute for Social Science Studies (BISS). The project was implemented at the three locations Finsterwalde, Elsterwerda and Herzberg by four sub-project partners E&G Projekt Agentur GmbH (Finsterwalde), BIAW GmbH (Herzberg) as well as bam GmbH (Elsterwerda) and IBS – CEMES Institut GmbH (Elsterwerda). This enabled the project to cover the entire Elbe-Elster district.
