Today's young generation will undoubtedly be the most affected by global climate change. In this context, resorting to investments in a green economy can help secure a just and equitable future that improves people’s lives through the advancement of environmental and social well-being. The project is carrying out research on NEETS (people Not in Education, Employment or Training) and green companies, identifying needs and opportunities in this area: it will select 300 NEETs aged 25-29 in Italy, Malta and Lithuania, train and enroll them in 3-month paid internships in green businesses. This is a pilot experience, so its effectiveness will be tested and evaluated locally. At the end of the project, all the data collected in the 3 local pilots will be used to develop policy recommendations at the European level.

Work60plus
he project for the elderly is being implemented with Polish partners – “work60plus“ aims to create a model that would allow them to work longer and more flexibly in Lithuania. The project is expected to create a modified work environment that is more favorable to people over the age of sixty.

The interdisciplinary model of extending the professional activity of employees in retirement age in the area of ergonomics, flexibility and validation of work environment combines two models defined under the joint work60plus programme:
• firm60plus: model of maintaining the professional activity of employees in preretirement and retirement age by supporting enterprises in preparation to retain employees who reach their retirement age;
• employee60plus: model of preparing employees in pre-retirement and retirement age to remain on the labour market.

The models include three stages of intervention following the logic presented above:
• audit60plus: the first step of the model related to the description of work environments – inventory of characteristics;
• adaptation60plus: the second step of the model related to the change in the scope of features of the workplace (adaptation) and employee (accommodation) in terms of theadaptation process – change of characteristics;
• employment60plus: the third step of the model related to the implementation of the main goal of the Project – maintaining / prolonging professional activity – matching change of characteristics.

The above path will include three groups of indicators, matching dimensions in line with the competences and experience of the Project Partnership:
• ergonomics60plus: indicators regarding the ergonomic aspects of the position, as well as the health and fitness characteristics of the employee.
• flexibility60plus: indicators for flexible forms of work related to the employee's limited efficiency, limited availability due to family and social roles connected to the employee's age.
• competencies60plus: indicators regarding the description of job competence requirements, including those related to psychophysical / psychological requirements,technological tasks and organizational tasks.

The project will be implemented in six stages, including three involving foreign partners:
• Development of model tools in cooperation with foreign partners;
• Model testing with target groups;
• Analysis of the effects of testing in cooperation with foreign partners;
• Development of the final version of tools in cooperation with foreign partners;
• Model implementation through educational activities;
• Development of recommendations for model users.
