“Development of Social Entrepreneurship for Improved Access to Employment of Vulnerable Groups in the Municipality of Belovo”

This project proposal aims to achieve some of the main objectives of the EU’s Europe 2020 strategy, such as combating poverty, promoting social inclusion and ensuring higher employment. The project foresees the objectives to be achieved through the creation of a social enterprise (SP) to the structure of the Municipality of Belovo (Action 1). The project plans to purchase equipment (Action 2) and to recruit representatives of socially vulnerable groups (Action 3). The main services that the enterprise will provide are related to the maintenance, cleaning and promotion of cultural and historical sites on the territory of the municipality of Belovo — monuments of culture, as well as other buildings and institutions related to cultural life in the municipality of Belovo. Activity 4 is dedicated to assisting employees by mentors, with the focus of the activity being organisational and professional support in the working environment. The latest project activity (Action 5) envisages a study on the development of the social enterprise that provides guidance on sustainability, efficiency and long-term perspective. In conclusion, the project is aimed at solving the labour market problems of two target groups — “people with disabilities” and “disadvantaged people on the labour market and other socially excluded persons”. Taking into account the problems and needs inherent in the target groups, the project also aims to create the right conditions for the full functioning of the social enterprise, which is expected to be created through the implementation of the envisaged activities and the achievement of the specific objectives set.
