PROJECT
FINISHED
A lot of the European countries have a long history of welcoming migrants in their societies starting from the post-war period and until today, and a lot of valuable experience has been gained through exploring different approaches for inter-cultural communication and integration into their cultures. However, there is no singular “migrant culture” and trying to integrate people with migratory background means operating in a varied field of different cultures, languages, traditions and religions.The project is targeted at the migrants arriving in Europe and their integration into society through education with a focus on entrepreneurship. Thus, the project needs to be carried out transnationally because the cultural, environmental or other contextual factors differ from one country to other.The general aim of the project will be to develop adapted training methodologies for adults in order to increase their motivation to learn and to counter their feelings of resignation and apathy. Thus, methodologically the project will be learner and staff/trainer oriented.The project will focus on disadvantaged areas and migrant groups. The results will mainly concern development of methods and techniques used in implementation of the training programmes for migrants with the aim to foster new local culture and through the training facilitate their communication with the local inhabitants.The main results expected from implementation of the project will include:(1) Training programme on entrepreneurship tailored for migrants elaborated, tested and made available on-line through an e-platform so that it could be used freely after completion of the project;(2) Trainers trained in the use of the new training methods for working with migrants developed within the project;(3) Experience gained from partner countries regarding the procedure/plan of the integration process of migrants carried out in their country/region.The project will run for 24 months and involve a total of 6 different organisations, i.e., schools, adult training centres, associations and an enterprise from Latvia, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal and Turkey.
