Partnerships for increased growth and employment

The establishment of local partnerships in integration between municipalities, companies and voluntary organisations was facilitated by conducting a series of workshops. Furthermore, the companies and the experts in industry, employment and integration were taught how integration and growth can go hand in hand. The object of the project is for companies to become aware of the economic potential of hiring ethnic minorities, and for the project activities to lead to an increase of employment.

The purpose of the partnership model is to bring a competence boost of integration and social responsibility in general to any given local area. To make this happen, the Danish Government Centre for CSR will engage relevant local operators (like municipalities, trade organisations, companies, citizens, NGOs etc.) in a partnership.

The basic elements of the partnership are interactive workshops and training (and training material) for strategic CSR and integration.

The idea is for the training and the workshops to supply the local operators with sufficient knowledge and inspiration for them to keep working on the partnership after the set-up.
