The aim is to develop concrete models and products in order to dissolve segregation, not just awareness raising and influencing attitudes. Transnational cooperation will bring added value and models can be mainstreamed elsewhere. The DP has central actors with regard to the area and the contents. The target group participation has also been secured. The project has anticipation and preventive aspects, it will affect training structures; therefore a great deal of the employment effects of the project will be seen in the long run.

Pyrkimyksenä on konkreettisten mallien ja tuotteiden kehittäminen segregaation purkuun, ei pelkkä asennekasvatus. Kansainvälisestä yhteistyöstä saadaan lisäarvoa ja malleja voidaan levittää. Kehittämiskumppanuudessa on mukana teeman ja alueen kannalta keskeiset toimijatahot. Myös kohderyhmän edustus on huomioitu. Hanke on ennakoiva ja ennaltaehkäisevä, koulutuksen rakenteisiin vaikuttava, mistä johtuen suuri osa työllisyysvaikutuksista onkin nähtävissä pitkän aikavälin tuloksena.
