SOLIDARCITY PROJECT

This project, co-funded by the EU's European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the INTERREG IVC programme, addresses the challenges posed to our towns and cities by unemployment. Led by Efxini Poli (Greek Network of Local Authorities - www.efxini.org), SolidarCity is a transnational partnership that includes universities, local authorities, town centre management associations and municipalities from Romania, Greece, Bulgaria, Italy, the UK and Finland. The project aims to investigate underlying causes and effects of unemployment across Europe with the goal of creating tools (e.g. guides, manuals, videos) that will help local authotities to create sustainable employment through a novel and integrated strategic approach to this issue.
