Get Out of the Loop – good practices against new poverties.

The GOL project – in the frame of the EU Programme Erasmus Plus, Key Action 2, Strategic Partnership in the field of Adult Education – aims to tackle the theme of social exclusion valorizing existing good practices in Europe to combat social exclusion; confronting the methods of “generative welfare”, based on the involvement of the excluded and the resigned who do not seek work and do not inform about their rights, developing the empowerment of the marginalized people and re-creating the link broken at the community level; comparing operators working on marginality with European tools and practices against social exclusion; analyzing social policy experiments based on the resilience of people in times of difficulty and crisis; monitoring social protection systems to identify practices responding to the problems of poverty and social exclusion; experimenting the model proposed by the partnership and contextualize it in own reality.
