    The Power of Involvement

    The aim of the project is to implement a set of measures and initiatives that will promote the integration of two strategic target groups of the Society, i.e. third-country nationals residing in Latvia and individuals aged 50+ and seniors, into civil society. This will be achieved by enhancing the civic competences and participation models of both the project implementers and the target groups, thereby strengthening the sustainable development of civil society and democracy in Latvia.

    • During the project, the Society’s international dimension will be expanded by establishing cooperation with the societies in Italy and Sweden that use innovative approaches in working with third-country nationals, individuals aged 50+ and seniors, promoting their integration and socialization into civil society.
    • A panel discussion titled “From Challenges to Opportunities: Integration of Third-Country Nationals in Latvia” will be organized, where the Society’s perspective on the effective integration of third-country nationals into Latvian society will be presented.
    • The networking event organized by the Society will ensure cooperation with other NGOs in Latvia that represent the project’s target audience - individuals of “silver age” and third-country nationals.
    • The project will help to maintain and develop the skills cluster cloud tool “MySkills” (https://www.myskills.lv), which aims to promote mutual cooperation and integration of third-country nationals into the Latvian economy, support the development of small businesses in Latvia, and facilitate interaction with the host society – the Latvian population.
