Zeit Raum Integration through EVS | Page 6

An overview of the association‘s projects

Starting from the positive impact of educational concepts in children and youth work in 1995, Zeit!Raum has been initiating and supporting various sociocultural projects for a broader target group all over Austria ever since.

Besides children, young people, families, inhabitants of the district and migrants, another important target group of Zeit!Raum are (minor) asylum seekers and refugees. These people are offered support, accommodation and help in integration through the projects “Tempus” and the “communal residence for minor asylum seekers” at Heumarkt and Fischergasse.

Through the development of quality standards and education manuals and through the carrying out of qualification courses together with partners from the fields of education, IT and social work, the association is aiming at a long-term integration into the labour market for asylum seekers.

Zeit!Raum develops innovative concepts in the field of social science, at the interface between theory and practice.

Above all, our fields of activity include the research in the field of the labour market, antidiscrimination and the intercultural and transgenerational dialogue with the aim of future-oriented solutions of problems. Further priorities of Zeit!Raum are the coordination of socio-scientific research assignments, statistic evalua­tions and the development and carrying out of projects in the fields of primary and further education, family counselling and integration.
