Young people with disabilities, older people between stages in life, people of all ages jobless and rejected by society have become minority groups.
But society's strength is measured by its weakest link. No community can afford to ignore social solidarity, people or minority groups. A top priority in a globalised society is the integration of all its members.

Just as national economic and labour policies are visibly pushing their limits, so socio-political initiatives must also be set in a larger context. Transnational transfer of knowledge and know-how is called for.

"Neue Arbeit" is setting new standards and introducing initiatives with new, socially relevant goals. Since it was founded, the "Neue Arbeit" employment model has focused on reintroducing disabled people, the long-term unemployed and older people into the world of work and thus integrating them in society.

"Neue Arbeit" has done the pioneering work, acquired considerable social and socio-psychological know-how and developed key social expertise.

"Neue Arbeit" believes that the globalisation of the economy should now be matched by international cooperation between socio-politically committed initiatives and groups at a transnational level. There should be a lively interchange of knowledge, know-how and expertise in a transnational flow of information so that new international concepts and initiatives can be developed.
