Social Media Streetwork

The partner project “Social Media Streetwork” (SoMS) by Minor and the BAG Wohnungslosenhilfe e.V. is a nationwide pilot project and is part of the ESF-Plus program “EhAP Plus – Eingliederung hilft gegen Ausgrenzung der am stärksten benachteiligten Personen”.

SoMS develops and offers multilingual initial information and advising for the target groups of particularly disadvantaged newcomers to the European Union, homeless people or people at risk of homelessness and their children under the age of 18. The focus is put on supporting particularly marginalised communities, i.e. especially Roma and Sinti as well as homeless people. The target groups communicate actively on social media which is why they shall easily receive information there and will be referred to EhAP Plus projects and/or local help services. At the same time, incorrect information shall be diminished.

The project forms a bridge between the target groups that cannot be reached, neither by local EhAP Plus funding, nor the other EhAP Plus projects or any other local or regional support. Within the framework of the project, a special value is set on the documentation and transfer of the results in order to achieve sustainable use of the online methods by the EhAP providers and the locally and regionally available support offers. The transnational exchange of digital support for marginalized target groups is also an important part of the project.

With “Social Media Streetwork”, Minor and the BAG Wohnungslosenhilfe e.V. as project partners bring their skills and networks together to meet the needs of the target groups of the EhAP Plus.
