The beneficiary of financial contribution for the project Include and activate (ViA2) is the Slovenian Book Agency. The project will address the needs of the most vulnerable target groups who are furthest from the labour market due to social exclusion, long-term unemployment or unfavourable circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the project, innovative interdisciplinary social activation programmes integrating cultural content with targeted training will be developed and rolled out. Special emphasis will be on integrating the cultural component, particularly literature, creative writing, illustration, and digital literacy. This will ensure that the participants build their confidence and boost empowerment, strengthen their social and functional skills and improve employment prospects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project will be implemented in the framework of Slovenia\u2019s EU Cohesion Policy Programme 2021-2027, under priority Long-term care and health, and social inclusion. It will pursue specific objective Fostering active inclusion with a view to promoting equal opportunities, non-discrimination and active participation, and improving employability, in particular for disadvantaged groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total amount of eligible costs for the implementation of the project amounts to \u20ac2 million. The two cohesion regions will receive \u20ac989,000 from the European Union\u2019s ESF+. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":45175,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-45251","media_blog","type-media_blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","media_type-sporocila-za-javnost-en"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\nNearly \u20ac1 million in ESF+ funding for social activation - Evropska sredstva<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/evropskasredstva.si\/en\/media-center\/sporocila-za-javnost-en\/eu-funding-for-social-activation-nearly-e1-million-in-esf-funding-for-the-project-via2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Nearly \u20ac1 million in ESF+ funding for social activation - Evropska sredstva\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/evropskasredstva.si\/en\/media-center\/sporocila-za-javnost-en\/eu-funding-for-social-activation-nearly-e1-million-in-esf-funding-for-the-project-via2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Evropska sredstva\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EUsredstva\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-12-18T12:54:07+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/evropskasredstva.si\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Depositphotos_282068542_L.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1333\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@mkrrSI\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/evropskasredstva.si\/en\/media-center\/sporocila-za-javnost-en\/eu-funding-for-social-activation-nearly-e1-million-in-esf-funding-for-the-project-via2\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/evropskasredstva.si\/en\/media-center\/sporocila-za-javnost-en\/eu-funding-for-social-activation-nearly-e1-million-in-esf-funding-for-the-project-via2\/\",\"name\":\"Nearly \u20ac1 million in ESF+ funding for social activation - Evropska sredstva\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/evropskasredstva.si\/en\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/evropskasredstva.si\/en\/media-center\/sporocila-za-javnost-en\/eu-funding-for-social-activation-nearly-e1-million-in-esf-funding-for-the-project-via2\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/evropskasredstva.si\/en\/media-center\/sporocila-za-javnost-en\/eu-funding-for-social-activation-nearly-e1-million-in-esf-funding-for-the-project-via2\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/evropskasredstva.si\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Depositphotos_282068542_L.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-12-16T12:51:38+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-12-18T12:54:07+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/evropskasredstva.si\/en\/media-center\/sporocila-za-javnost-en\/eu-funding-for-social-activation-nearly-e1-million-in-esf-funding-for-the-project-via2\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/evropskasredstva.si\/en\/media-center\/sporocila-za-javnost-en\/eu-funding-for-social-activation-nearly-e1-million-in-esf-funding-for-the-project-via2\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/evropskasredstva.si\/en\/media-center\/sporocila-za-javnost-en\/eu-funding-for-social-activation-nearly-e1-million-in-esf-funding-for-the-project-via2\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/evropskasredstva.si\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Depositphotos_282068542_L.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/evropskasredstva.si\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Depositphotos_282068542_L.jpg\",\"width\":2000,\"height\":1333,\"caption\":\"Mlada \u017eenska sedi za mizo, pred njo prenosni ra\u010dunalnik.
