Administration for Allocation of Social Welfare is an administration within the Municipality of Gothenburg who offers people/citizens of Gothenburg different services in the social field. It includes homelessness, abuse, vulnerable children and more. The administration operates on different rehabilitative and prevention actions.
The Activity houses (there are four in the city) are aiming to support people with mental illnesses by creating meaningful employment, social interaction, and support to find a suitable way forward into work or education. The target group is people aged 18-65 years. People who are in situations that make it more difficult for them to acquire effective access to formal education throughout the traditional school system and to enter the labour market. The Activity houses offers activities on weekdays such as different courses, joint lunches, meet with other people; listen to music, read the papers…
The houses are spread in different parts of the town (with a population of 500.000). In each house there are also groups working with supported job training. The activity houses cooperates with other interactive partners, for example social workers, psychiatryofficers, job coaches.
Brief description of the Transnational cooperation:
  1. Problems to be solved (justification of the need of the transnational cooperation)
The project objective is to pay attention to our target group, people with a mental illness or disabilities, age 18-35. To visualise that many of them are creative and artistic. We want to create a context for them to be notified. Our younger participants need an arena where their skills can be noticed, skills that aren´t necessary handicraft. The aim is to receive the support required to achieve his/her goals and have meaningful activities.
  1. Objectives to be achieved
Create opportunities for youth aged 18-35. We believe that youth tends to be more interested and skilled in media and new technology. Most youth have grown up with internet, it is a natural way of their daily life. We think it is a great idea that youth with mental illness could be able to get the support to access the context of modern society.
  1. Main transnational activities (as provisionally planned, to be confirmed with partners)
Get closer to organizations working with youth with mental disabilities or municipalities, organizations which have developed an e-commerce services
  1. Planned outputs, deliverables, results of TNC; expected outcomes (effects)
