Espagne, Belgique • Intervention through partnerships

Gathering partners from France (Wimoov), Belgium (Responsible Young Drivers Vlaanderen and Resposible Young Drivers Wallonie-Bruxelles) and Spain (Fundación Bancaria Ibercaja ), EU-NISMOP is a cooperation project that aims to create a European network for inclusive and sustainable mobility. More specifically, its objective is to raise the skills of European professionals by sharing knowledge, skills and support practices to improve the mobility of people suffering from socio-economic difficulties (jobseekers, recipients of minimum social benefits, etc.). Funded by the Erasmus+ program, EU-NISMOP will take place between 2023 and 2024.
