Topic: “Handicrafts and social economy: A driver for Socially inclusive growth in the CB region – Social Crafts”, Project number: 5018949
Funded by: the EC under the Interreg V-A Greece-Bulgaria
Duration: 2017-2020
Coordinator: International Cooperation Initiatives Association.
Project website: SocialCrafts
The “Social Crafts” project aims to raise awareness of the enormous potential of these areas, specifically that between southern Bulgaria and northern Greece. Problems with labor inequalities, poverty and high unemployment among the different types of vulnerable groups such as young people, women, Roma, elderly, long-term unemployed and disabled, gave us the idea through this program to try and bring them new ideas of self-employment using crafts and at the same time integrating themselves totally into their local community.
Within the framework of the project, SRPI was engaged as a subcontractor with the task of implementing an impact assessment of the project by conducting an empirical sociological study on the topic “Impact assessment and lessons learned”.
