They will carry out the Social analysis mapping to identify and implement the pilot actions on social clauses, young social innovation and recycling cluster, to later assess the impact through the Tool kit.

They will work closely with Derry City and Strabane District Council leading to guarantee the future sustainability and project dissemination.
