"<< Background >>Marginalized social groups are the ones that mean the biggest social and labour market problem in Europe and all over the world. Those especially staying in a marginal position are the people living in extreme poverty, the people living in extreme poverty, people having low scholar qualification, and people, who come from unemployed families of several generations. They are characterized by a long persisting economic and social crisis that still entails deterioration of their social relationships and personal abilities, lack of vision for the future, and total lack of motivation. In 2019, 92.4 million people in the EU-27 were at risk of poverty or social exclusion; this was equivalent to 21.1 % of the EU-27 population.Year 2020 presented a new challenge to the world. Territorial and personal quarantines introduced for the protection against coronavirus, the restriction of mobility of people, the reduction of possibilities of further exposure have made a serious impact on the economy in each of the countries of Europe, but in practice, globally as well. The situation has adversely affected the lives of people living on the margins of society. Marginalized social groups will not be able to represent their interests in the mitigation of economic crisis caused by the virus; they will be the ones, who will get from a hopeless situation to an even more hopeless one. Therefore, every effort needs to be made to promote their social inclusion, in particular by involving them in the non-formal learning process using innovative solutions. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there have been changes in education, employment but also in the required skills. The sustainability of economy can only be ensured by active participation in social life, the right lifestyle and acquiring the necessary skills for life and labour market in the 21st century. It is essential that disadvantaged and vulnerable groups can also participate in addressing the issues of their future by utilizing their skills, knowledge and competences.Global, transnational solutions have to be sought, because isolated solutions staying within the borders of the country will be less efficient. This is the situation, when it is really necessary that we learn from each other, that we use human resources of each other, and that we apply innovative solutions.The aim of the project is to motivate disadvantaged social groups, to increase their chances for a widest possible range of social inclusion.Main target groups of the project are:-Disadvantaged groups on the labour market (low-income working groups, marginalized groups, groups without regular income)-Vulnerable groups (e.g. persons who for some reason do not have financial security for quality life, social benefit recipients, people living in deep poverty, long-term unemployed, multi-generational unemployed people) Main objectives of the project are:-Prevention: Partners will prevent disadvantaged and vulnerable group of the threat of social exclusion.-Education: training all target groups with by educational, sociological and psychological training modules and motivational videos.-Developing personalities, life and labour market skills for the 21st century among disadvantaged and vulnerable group. -Motivation: engaging disadvantaged and vulnerable group in motivational activities aimed at increasing the social adaptability of the target group.
