Long-term unemployment and early school leaving are multi-faceted and complex problems with an European dimension that need comprehensive approaches.

Therefore, within HanDS two schools (DE WISSEL and  Ten R. Righetti)) and two organisations with a direct link to the labour market (SURPLUS and EEPL) decided to join forces. All organisations  are convinced that the transnational cooperation between them will enhance the quality of the partners’ activities, develop an innovative way of thinking and build new networks. More specifically, will lead to improved work methodologies, transfer of good practices and a new perspective on problems, solutions and methods.
