Gera- Lusan is the most populous district of Gera.It is located in the south of the city between Zeulsdorf and Bundesstrasse 92 and is divided into three municipalities. 23.087 people live here, which is 22.9 % of the Gera population. Thanks to Rücbau and renovation, large green areas and open spaces have been created in recent years, there are daycare centres, schools, shopping facilities, many playgrounds and a good connection to public transport. But there are also 1,517 Lusan citizens who are unemployed. This corresponds to 27.6 % of the unemployed in all of Gera. Our project ‘Thinka Gera’ is designed to make an active contribution to the social integration of all citizens of Lusan, to implement the principle of equal opportunities and non-discrimination, to contribute to the creation or improvement of employability and ultimately to the reduction of poverty. We are increasingly relying on the qualification of our networks, a more tailor-made, individual consultation of the individual and a close link with the projects TIZIAN and LAP. For this we have the active support of the city of Gera and many cooperation partners at our side.
