28/01/2010 - Urban Dimension: Reference projects selected

For the project „The urban dimension in the Operational Programmes of Germany“, one or more reference projects from each federal state (20 in total) that are funded by the ERDF or ESF funds have been selected. The projects cover various different fields of urban development, from infrastructural measures to activities that improve the social situation. There is also a great variety in the scale of the projects – the selection comprises major projects like “Stadtmitte am Fluss” (“City centre by the river”) in Saarbruecken, but also small-scale building measures to renovate individual roads or buildings, like for example the rehabilitation of the grammar school in Dresden-Bühlau. Each project was documented with a detailed profile. Furthermore with the help of the project managers each project was analysed in regard to their impact in terms of the Lisbon goals and the Leipzig charter. A final conference is planned in Berlin. The results will be integrated in the national strategy report of the federal government to the European Commission.

19/01/2010 - Abroad Internships offered to Young Persons! 

Starting in April, young persons will go east. The TRANSGREDIO project facilitates unemployed young adults (aged 27 years or less) to take part in a medium-term internship abroad. The possible destinations are Prague (Czech Republic) and Swiebodzice (Poland). Interesting tasks and an inspiring working environment are offered by Polish and Czech businesses. For the participants, the internship will not only be a valuable personal experience but also a real help to find durable employment at home. A series of preparatory workshops will be organised ahead of the internship. During their stay abroad, intensive care will be provided. The programme finances all accommodation and subsistence costs as well as language courses. Interested young adults should seek further information on our website or by phoning the responsible, Sandra Commichau, at 0341/14077970.
