Concluding Conference oft he Swiss-Czech Partnership Fund on November 30th in Prague
by Bjarke Ammann
Something like 5 % - representing approx.. CHF 5 Million - of the Swiss contribution to the cohesion fund has been attributed to the Program of Swiss-Czech collaboration. Money was attributed to 98 projects. One of them was the Rubikon Centrum Servis project.
VEBO and RCS invited Czech specialists and politicians to study-visits in Switzerland and organized a conference in Prague tackling the topic of Reintegrating long term unemployed ex-prisoners into the first labour market. The aims were to sensitize Czech decision makers for the problem and to promote Rubikon Centrum Servis who is running a pilot covering this matter.
It was a full success as more than 130 persons attended the three events.
It was also gratifying that the RC and VEBO were asked to present their Project at the concluding Conference of the Swiss-Czech partnership fund on November 30th 2016 in Prague.
