Description

The overall objective of the project is to facilitate the integration of disadvantaged people and Ukrainian refugees into the Polish labour market, through strengthened social dialogue and support tools for refugees. The project will be implemented in the Lublin region where unemployment is higher than the average in Poland, and which also welcome a high number of refugees given the close distance to the Ukrainian border.

The project focuses both on capacity-building of social partners to take a more active role in the development of active labour market policies (ALMP), in cooperation with local authorities,  but the project will also offer support to Ukrainian refugees to find jobs. The project builds on a previous project on ALMP measures for young people, and will continue to learn from Norwegian experience in this field through a continued partnership with NHO. 

The project aims at delivering on outcome 3 on facilitated access to employment, but there are also elements of outcome 1 on social dialogue.  

The following activities will be carried out:

- 11 monthly meetings of expert groups and development of recommendations on ALMP measures,  including 40 participants and a key-note speaker in each meeting which will focus on the different disadvantaged groups, followed by a summary meeting at the end, resulting in a summary report and recommendations
- Produce and broadcast a reportage about solutions for refugees in Norway.
- Campaign in press, internet, social media
- 2-days Conference for 40 participants for social partners, public authorities, media.
- Adapt internet portal for the usage of Ukrainians who are looking for a job in Poland, including material in Ukrainian
