Situation

Over the three-year “Focus Work” project organised by the Department of Social Affairs of the City of Biel (2022–2024), recipients of social assistance developed career and social perspectives in groups together with other participants. The aim was, among other things, to have a positive effect on their chances of becoming less dependent on social assistance in future.
