RE-CHANCE
Raising employment chances of social disadvantaged young people.
Young people from disadvantaged families, ethnic minorities or families with a
migration background have lower chances of social, cultural and labour market
integration. Their chances have even lessened in many European countries in
recent years. The project RE-Chance addresses young people from disadvantaged
families, young offenders and young people with a migrant background in the
partner countries Austria, Germany, Poland, Bulgaria, Portugal, Italy and the Czech
Republic. The project‘s aim is helping these young people to develop their social
skills through different training modules and outdoor activities. Counselling parents, ›› I n close cooperation with our
