This project focuses on the situation of migrant women in different European countries who are significant by a high risk of poverty, a weak financial position which frequently comes together with a lack of self-confidence and a negative wellbeing. The aim of the project is to develop a high quality training to support these women in improving their lives by changing their financial situation, building up employability, working on their self-esteem and emotional balance. Five consortium partners cooperate in a two-year lasting strategic partnership to develop and implement an innovative training tool for adult education by working out a body-oriented approach. The five partners from Germany (2 partners), Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey contribute their different qualities into this project: • they focus on different groups of migrant women (from North-Africa, Eastern Europe, the Caribbean, Turkey, Morocco and Russia), • they have different positions in the process of integration (migrant-self-help organizations, advisory support, training-service and governmental support), • they are experts in intercultural competences, • they are familiar with gender-related issues, • they are familiar with the body-oriented approach. One of the partners (Eubikus/D) brings extensive knowledge and experience with the body-oriented approach into the consortium. The transfer of the body-oriented approach into the training activities in combination with intercultural and gender-skills is the core of this project. By using body-work as methodological approach the bodily experiences gets the central tool of learning and developing consciousness about someone self. The partners are convinced that this approach will lead to sustainable results of the trainings. As a first step the consortium realizes a staff-education program for 18 participants from all involved partners to develop the necessary professional skills (in body-oriented approach, intercultural skills, gender-skills) to implement the training-tool with migrant women. This program for 18 trainers will be realized in three steps: a) face-to-face workshop in Germany b) e-learning-program c) face-to-face workshop in Turkey. As a second step four partners will develop local activities to realize a try-out of the training-tool with the target group of migrant women. This training includes 14 modules in seven steps. To do justice to the different migrant group the tool will need to be tuned on the specific needs and conditions. 64 women in 4 countries will participate in the try-out in give feedback about the effect of the training. Based on this profound evaluation of the try-out the training will get improved. The partners will work out different options on how to reach out migrant organizations on one hand and get in touch with stakeholders from labor market and public entities on the other hand to implement the training tool in local networks. Each partner will implement two more trainings with migrant women following this approach during the time of this project (128 women will be reached). The output will be a well-founded trainer´s guide that explains the training tool, but also includes research about the target-group, intercultural and gender-skills. This guide will be accompanied by tutorial videos to give an impression of the body-oriented approach. In a brochure the consortium will document the staff-education program. A website will be developed for professionals in adult-education, migrant organisations, NGOs and labor-market to work on employability and wellbeing on migrant women and to make use of body-oriented approach. We intend that the project will have results and impact on several levels: For our target group of migrant women the risk of poverty gets reduced, because they will be able and motivated to take steps to improve their lives (including their financial situation and emotional wellbeing). For the organizations active in adult education the quality of their programs will improve by working with this innovative approach. They will be working on a subject with high relevance and getting in touch with stakeholders representing migrant-groups as well as work-supporting systems. Trainers will gain new skills in using body-oriented and gender-related training-tools for different cultural groups. In a long term perspective we foresee that the situation of migrant will get better in terms of financial independency and emotional wellbeing. Migrants should be able to build up a satisfied life with the integration of their migration as enriching life-experiences. Therefore they need space for personal development, as we offer it within our training. But they also need to face a positive attitude by trainers, employers and public entities. With our project we contribute to an appreciative attitude towards migrant women – as well within themselves as also by the society as a whole.
