Exchange of Practices on Education and Training Models for Members of Refugee Communities in Europe
Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2019 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The partnership and objectives of the EXPECT-MORE project are setup in front of the followingProject background: Currently about 1.5 million asylum seekers have already entered the European member states and together with additional people arriving daily it is estimated that min. 1 million persons will receive the international protection status as refugee with immediate and full access to the labour markets of the European member states in the years 2016 and 2017. Since the competence backgrounds of people arriving in Europe are totally diverse and according to studies at least 25-30% of the persons do not even have a lower secondary school degree, this is a unpredictable challenge for labour market integration and also for the VET systems of the European countries. Providing full access and appropriate access to VET training and qualifications becomes a crucial issue in the next two years for this target group and this takes place in front of different VET systems, unknown backgrounds and competences (mainly acquired through informal learning) of persons accessing. Truly speaking none of the VET systems of the European countries and none of the European labour markets (which are currently struggling with high unemployment rates in general) are prepared for this challenge. Project objectives: 1) Exchange of practices, evaluation and transfer of good practices related to guidance and counselling approaches for refugees and migrants in Europe 2) Exchange of practices, evaluation and transfer of good practices related to C-VET programmes and didactics in C-VET for refugees and migrants in Europe 3) Exchange of practices, evaluation and transfer of good practices related to labour market integration and work experience programmes for regugees and migrants in Europe 4) Supporting the challenges of C-VET and labour market integration of refugees and migrants in the European members states by creating a forum for experience and good practice exchangeProject results: Desite the fact that the EXPECT-MORE project is built as an exchange of practices project, the partnership will develop the following core results and outputs: a) Good practice analysis matrix "future proof 2016ff", a matrix allowing to identify good practices in front of the most actual and recent challenges and criteria necessary for estimation of future proofness.b) 3 good practice collections with detailed good practices approaches for the three identfied support levels (guidance&counselling, C-VET programmes and didactics, labour market integration and work experience programmes)c) 3 learning, teaching and training events for each of the good practice collection to support and implement concrete transfer processes Project impact: The project impact is mainly directed towards the partner institutions as well as fellow or sister organisations in the partner countries and beyond who receive the possibility to exchange practices , learn from each other, analyse mutually the good practice approaches and are able to prepare for the challenge they will face in the next years. Moreover as final beneficiaries the project is additionally envisaging refugees and migrants as final participants and beneficaries of the implementation of good practice approaches in the partner countries as well as a group of wider stakeholders like policy makers, political decision makers, public organisations on local, regional and national level who are all so far not prepared for what will be happening on the labour markets in the next few years. Partnership: The partnership of the project consists of highly experienced organisations currently already dealing with refugee integration or at least integration disadvantaged persons, have access to a vast number of good practice approaches, will be able to analyse and evaluate good practices and finally implement a transfer process for selected instruments, practices or models
