Reducing the number of people at risk of poverty and social exclusion in marginalised communities in which there is a population belonging to the Roma minority in Alba Iulia by implementing integrated measures addressed to them in accordance with the principles of promoting social inclusion, combating poverty and any form of discrimination. This objective will be achieved through integrated activities to increase access and participation in education, support for access and maintenance on the labour market, support entrepreneurship, provision of medical-social services, improvement of living conditions, legal assistance for the regulation of identity and/or property documents and address members of marginalised communities, in a number of 560 people, of which more than half belong to the Roma minority. Thus, coherent and harmonised poly-sectoral actions will be ensured both at individual level and at the level of marginalised communities in which they live, integrated actions that will increase the level of work and professional skills, will develop entrepreneurial skills, improve housing comfort, improve health and regulate the legal situation of this category of population in the 5 marginalised communities in Alba Iulia. Through the overall objective, the project contributes to the achievement of the specific objective of the program and call proposed within the Human Capital Operational Programme 2014-2020, by ensuring the socio-economic integration of the 5 marginalised communities in which there is a population belonging to the Roma minority in Alba Iulia through educational measures (educational therapy courses, parental education programs, school after school programs), employment measures (training and counselling, mediation, apprenticeship, vocational training, entrepreneurship); interventions in the field of provision of medical services, interventions in the field of improvement of living conditions, in the field of legal assistance and combating discrimination and promotion of multiculturalism. In the long term, the provision of integrated measures provided for in this project will contribute to: • preparing the workforce at risk of poverty and social exclusion from the 5 marginalised communities with the majority Roma population in Alba Iulia in competitive occupations, helping to reduce the danger of social exclusion of these workers; • promotion and compliance with environmental quality standards; • improvement of living conditions in the 5 marginalised communities in which there is a population belonging to the Roma minority in Alba Iulia; • tackling gaps in participation in the formal labour market; • respect and encourage the principle of equal opportunities between women and men; • increasing the competitiveness of the local and regional economy by creating eco-structures
