The brochure "Shaping the future in Germany and Europe: The impact of the European Social Fund (Plus) on the ground" presents representative ESF (Plus) programmes and ESF (Plus) projects of the Federal Government and the 16 Länder.
From reintegration into society and the world of work, to further education and training, to combating poverty and helping small and medium-sized companies find skilled workers - this brochure shows how the ESF (Plus) can be used in a needs-oriented, diverse and successful way. The selected programmes and projects illustrate how the ESF (Plus) provides opportunities for people in Germany to lead self-determined and successful (professional) lives and how it is the embodiment of the European social idea at local level.
