IMAGINE is aimed at tackling youth unemployment by providing sustainable job prospects in market gardening, more specifically for low-skilled 18-34-year-old NEETs in the peri-urban areas of north-western Europe (outskirts of London and Paris, central Belgium, the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, and Eindhoven), where NEETs have great difficulty getting jobs. To do this, IMAGINE provides local authorities mindful of the problem with a tool kit promoting inclusion in the job market through market gardening. It consists of the following: - definition of a co-production methodology that involves the NEETs heavily in setting up their training/integration programmes in the horticultural sector; - variants of this methodology via three different social incubator models involving the indispensable public and private actors in different ways to achieve the goal of getting NEETs into work; and - consolidation of the project's achievements to enable other local authorities to adopt the IMAGINE model and to make recommendations to the various political levels. Since this model allows for the singularities of horticulture (e.g., its seasonality) and is based on a methodology that requires great NEET involvement, it calls for at least six months' training and quasi-personalised supervision. For that reason, IMAGINE's ultimate aim is to reinforce the employability of 300 NEETs and to get half of them into lasting employment in horticulture by project end. To ensure its long-term effects and to help local authorities adapt this social inclusion model to their own situations, the partnership will also create a transnational network to deal with urban market-gardening innovation and social incubation issues, following the example of what is done within the Covenant of Mayors. Aim: To have 300 member municipalities and get 4,500 NEETs back to work in the next ten years. (English)
