The ERDF funds are contributing greatly to the urban development of the municipality of La Rinconada (Seville). One of the most significant lines within this strategy is the contribution to the Promotion of Employability of the unemployed, especially the most disadvantaged groups.

Among the different actions that have been carried out, it is worth highlighting the one called: Creation of the ''Los Silos'' Civic Centre.

The Civic Centres are public socio-cultural facilities located in the different neighbourhoods or districts of the city. They are multi-purpose spaces adapted to different uses. They are open to all groups, entities and citizens of the area without any type of restriction.

This operation has consisted in the creation of a new Civic Centre with the mission of providing citizens with an open place for meetings, information, training and orientation. It will also be a leisure space where, through the multidisciplinary use, both individual and collective, of the different services, programmes and activities, and the collective participation of associations, groups and users, it will contribute to the creation of healthy leisure habits and improve the quality of life.

In this building, a second headquarters of the Municipal Employment Service has been installed: DOSLA (Department of Socio-Labour Guidance). Previously, the DOSLA was only located in the centre of San José de La Rinconada, being more complicated to attend to people in a situation of social exclusion in the area of La Rinconada, as this group has particular difficulty in travelling from one town to another.

The location of this new municipal facility is strategically calculated to provide services to different neighbourhoods with the largest disadvantaged populations and where the greatest number of vulnerable people and those at risk of social exclusion live.

This facility has been built within the urban nucleus where the passage of neighbours is continuous, taking into account the proximity. The location corresponds to a municipal plot where several Association headquarters are currently located, C/Manuel de Rodas, n. º 4.

The building has been erected on a plot of 334 m². It consists of:

• A ground floor with a multi-purpose hall, an assembly hall with a capacity for 60 people, a toilet block and 4 offices.
• A first floor with 3 classrooms, a storeroom and a toilet block.
• It also has a basement floor. This contains an Archive.

This project has been carried out by two different lines, ''Line 4: promotion of employability for unemployed people'' and ''Line 5: generation of equipment and spaces of social innovation for the attention of disadvantaged groups''.

Thanks to the coordination between the two lines, it has been possible to have a total investment of €1,102,895.00. Below is a breakdown of the investment made by each line:

• Line 4 involved expenditure of €715,000.00, of which €598,000.00 was financed by the Sustainable Urban Development (SUD) Strategy of the ERDF Funds. The remaining amount was financed by La Rinconada Town Hall's own funds. In addition, a total of €1,875.00 was spent on communication and dissemination actions, also fully financed by SUD Estrategy. The total amount of this line was €716,875.00.
• The works carried out by line 5 amounted to €385,000.00, being €325,380.00 financed by the SUD Strategy of the ERDF Funds. Communication and dissemination actions were also carried out at a cost of €1,020.00. Thus, the total investment of this line has been €386,020.00.
