Goals: To establish the impact the Thanet Interreg Project has on reducing social exclusion of at-risk young people in Thanet and France
Funding: 1.1m for two years; 40 per cent from EU initiative Interreg, the rest from agencies including the East Kent Youth Offending Service, Connexions, Thanet Community Development Trust and Kent County Council
Part-funded by Interreg, an EU initiative to help foster cross-border regional development projects, the Thanet Interreg Project was set up by Professor Carl Parsons, of Canterbury Christ Church University, alongside researchers at the universities of Lille2 and Lille3 in France.
The project is working with groups of 11- to 14-year-olds from Thanet, Kent, who have been identified as being at risk of exclusion. The young people take part in positive activities such as arts workshops, discussion groups and exchange trips to France. Their progress is monitored at the start and end of the programme.
