The Equalineurope project developed and managed an international, pre-professional online course for practitioners working with refugees and asylum seekers in host countries. The project and training course was designed to provide tools and strategies for improving their professional abilities and skills in the fi eld. The Equalineurope project focussed on the development of educational strategies and innovative self-teaching methods, which enable professionals to respond more effi ciently to the specifi c needs of refugees and asylumseekers. In particular, the project strives to promote increased access for refugees and asylum seekers into education and professional opportunities, as well as provide them with tools to help facilitate social and cultural integration. To accomplish this, participants learn best-practice methods for teaching basic elements on which the host society is built, thus facilitating motivation and participation in the integration process. They also learn how to guide refugees and asylum seekers through daily challenges they may face, such as economic and social independence. Practitioners in this important fi eld are also given the knowledge and skills to exchange strategies with colleagues from other European countries to better develop the profession.
