Promotion for social inclusion in Berlin: First call for development projects has started!

Since the beginning of October 2023, the first call for development projects in the context of the Funding Instrument 13 LSI of the district alliances for economy and work (BBWA) has been running in Berlin. The aim of the funding instrument is to develop and test innovative ideas for the social inclusion of disadvantaged people. Three project types are encouraged: micro -projects, development projects and model projects that are intended to expand the options for action of the districts. The funding can take between six months to two years and takes place via project carriers, such as clubs, companies or working groups. The application process runs entirely online via the customer portal of the Investment Bank Berlin. Further information is available on the Investment Bank Berlin website.

In addition to the information from the article, I would like to add some local effects and context as a Berlin citizen. In Berlin there are many socially disadvantaged people who are threatened by poverty and social exclusion. The funding instrument 13 LSI therefore offers an important way to develop and implement innovative ideas for social inclusion. The funding is aimed at both individuals and organizations that are committed to improving the living conditions of disadvantaged groups. The promotion of micro -projects, development projects and model projects increases the variety of measures for social inclusion in the Berlin districts. This contributes to the fact that disadvantaged people receive more support and opportunities.

The application process, which is completely processed online, enables simple and efficient application and implementation of projects. Investment bank Berlin plays an important role as an intermediate position that finances and accompanies the funding. This shows the importance that the city of Berlin supports social inclusion and the fight against poverty and social exclusion. The funding instrument 13 LSI helps Berlin be perceived as a cosmopolitan and socially just metropolis.
