The EU project "Perspective? Work!" is a project within the framework of the German programme "Integration through Exchange" (Ida), funded by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and the European Social Fund (ESF). The aim is to promote transnational mobility so that disadvantaged people can gain practical work experience and expand their professional skills in other EU countries. The project focusses on people with health restrictions and disabilities, for whom the project opens up new career prospects. According to Pia Sachs, future collaborations will also be discussed with the European partners at the workshop in Chemnitz.
