Organisation on lokal level partner 3 region Stockholm in Cibus5.

1. Topic for partner 3 region Stockholm in Cibus5 is to create a toolkit for starting and running social enterprise • Background: Stockholm region is in need of many more social enterprises. People who are in social and work exclusion for many years becomes more. They have no place and it is very difficult for them to take place in the regular labor market. The labor market needs to be developed in the social sector with more social enterprises.Project Cibus5 partner 3 contribute to this process for the Region Stockholm by creating an online toolkit for starting and running a social enterprises • Work Process.In the first semester we created a local working group and a local steering group. We gathered and mapped the work forward. We inventoried the LEGS knowledge of the subject and based on that. We added skills and expanded networks, which will be presented in this slide show. We began to realize that we needed more expertise in the subject. Experts who have been assigned a clear mandate and responsibility for the development of social enterprises by the government. We also realized that publish the web-based toolkit is one of the most difficult challenge in the project. We started working to create the reference group and managed it last spring. • Our LEG (working group) do an operational work. They use existing information uppdate it and add missing information and make it web-based. They take the pulse of the recently launched social enterprises to find out how they felt the time from concept to startup. Our big challenge is to get the guidance toolkit published in a website. The website already exists and is owned by several authorities. All these agencies must agree that it is important and it is of high standard. • Lokal steering group. The local steering committee is composed of different local authorities of services for office managers and it includes even manager from the voluntary sector. Local project management reports on a monthly basis to the Steering Group. Steering Group's role is to take decisions in matters of business and economics. • Reference grupp who are officials in higher positions. Eva Johansson works on Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth which has been given the responsibility of government to pursue this topic. Christina Rosengren Gustafsson works on headquarters at the strategic unit for rehabilitation to work at Public Employment Agency. Eva Carlsson works on SKOOPI which is an association. • We are 30 people in different roles working for this topic.

10. The government's action plan for work-integrated social enterprises • In Sweden today there is no defining regulations on rules of work - integrating social enterprises.Therefore the Government considers that there is a need for regulationwork-integrated social enterprises which are prerequisites for the use ofEU General Block Exemption Regulation on state aid, Regulation (EC) No800/2008. This is the government's regulation on Rules of integrating social enterprises.On 22 April 2010 the Government adopted an action plan forRules of integrating social enterprises. N2010/1894/ENT"The government wishes through this action plan to facilitate the growing numberof work - integrating social enterprises. These companies are of different nature and their efforts are largely adjusted to the ability of employees and support needs.The majority of employees in work-integrated social enterprises are for example persons which on the basis of disability have reduced work capacity. Their disability could be caused by previous drug abuse, crime, long term sickness, long-term unemployment, homelessness or other forms of social disadvantage. Those are the reasons why they did not have established on or lost contact with the labor market. " • The action plan is decided on a number of actions to be implemented with a viewto facilitate the wider and growing social enterprises. The Action Plan will be followed by assignments to several authorities to implement the agreed actions.
