Innovative Methods and Practices to facilitate Social Inclusion
Start date: Dec 1, 2009,
To achieve Lisbon Strategy objectives on social inclusion all partner countries are using top-down approach by implementing national programmes of social protection and social inclusion. Annual EC reports are developed http://ec.europa.eu/employment_social/soc-prot/soc-incl/joint_rep_en.htm. The analysis of statistical data provided in this reports shows that level of social exclusion/poverty in partner countries is still very high and feminization of the poverty is noticed. That is why it’s very important to strengthen the bottom-up approach to increase capacity and willing of socially excluded people themselves to be fully integrated into society. The project is designed to increase the level of social inclusion of senior citizens, unemployed and migrants with special emphasis on women. It will be achieved by introducing new learning pathways for increasing their social mobility, which is associated with an individual’s opportunities and capacities for progression to overcome the social exclusion.Project will develop the Group social mentoring as an alternative learning approach to re/integrate target groups into society and labour market. It will result on producing E-Workbook for tutors on CD-ROM. Multilanguage Video set on Role models will be created and used as an educational tool for learners to learn from personal experience of people who have overcame social exclusion. The training material for workshop ‘Equal opportunity and non-discrimination’ will be developed to help senior citizens, unemployed and migrants to improve civic competencies on gender equality and equal opportunities in order to adapt to diverse and changing society and to protect their human rights. All developed educational tools will be tested at national level and summarized in the European framework of Social Mobility Model. The envisaged impact concerns increasing capacity of target groups to move from social exclusion to social inclusion by increasing their social mobility.
