That is why I am interested in social cohesion

On the topic of "Social Cohesion", I am particularly interested in which biographical relevant factors and experiences lead to individual patterns of attitudes, that are directed toward advocating or rejecting social solidarity and democratic values. In the FGZ sub-project conducted in Halle (Saale), the focus is on self-employed micro-entrepreneurs, who differ from other social groups in particular with regard to the specifics of their employment situation and the associated risks. The project investigates which factors and experiences shape the understanding of social cohesion and the associated individual and collective practices of micro-entrepreneurs.
