The main goal of the project is the creation and implementation of an effective and innovative model for the sustainable integration of people from vulnerable groups on the territory of Vidin Municipality, aimed at increasing the quality of life, reducing poverty and stopping the transmission of poverty through generations. Among the planned implementation activities, we conducted a qualitative study in the Vidin region, through 12 focus groups with representatives of the target group aged 18 – 30, economically inactive, not engaged in work, including young people at risk of social exclusion , and young people from marginalized communities.

The main goal of the activity was to provoke a discussion among the participants on issues related to employment, and more precisely – the possibilities for overcoming youth unemployment and creating conditions for sustainable youth integration in the labor market, providing chances for career development and personal satisfaction.

With this qualitative method, we aimed to establish the problems, needs and motivations of the participants. We combined the results of the activity into a report that we will use in future work with each of the target groups.
