The growing number of people seeking refuge in Europe makes it increasingly difficult to match the labour supply of this target with the actual demand for professionals by European enterprises. In the absence of more targeted measures, after the first phases of reception, the new refugees risk being marginalized by the social and production community, falling victims to criminal activities.The MILAR project fosters the learning and testing of a new route towards the employability of refugees, adopting the model of Social Community Enterprise (SCE), at transnational level and in local communities in Italy, Sweden, Germany, and England.SCEs, innovative but still relatively unexplored experiences, consist of a set of economic and social activities which are defined as ‘hybrid’, i.e. not supported by a single stakeholder/body but rather by multi-stakeholder networks (public and private, profit and no-profit stakeholders), sharing the same collective need, such as for example providing jobs for unemployed people. This results in multisector (agriculture, tourism, environment, etc.) micro-projects which are mutually functional, and of both volunteer and commercial/productive nature.The partnership aims to experiment ‘bottom-up’ projects integrating social and production-oriented enterprises, with a view to promoting the labour integration of a heterogeneous target, such as the refugee population in Europe.The project is promoted by training agencies, social organizations, and institutions, all of which are equally involved in the phases of:• RESEARCH: collection and analysis of successful community welfare experiences and preparation of a transnational research framework • MODELLING: transnational peer-to-peer training pathway for learning and sharing experiences, with a view to developing the Guidelines for a common model of Social Community Enterprise• TESTING: in each partner country, testing of Social Community Enterprise projects and of learning pathways for refugees, gathered in a Compendium of experimentations and Toolkits for refugees• COMMUNICATION AND DISSEMINATION The METHODOLOGY used in MILAR, precisely because it is focused on the community model of social community enterprise, promotes the constant participation and sharing among the partners, towards territorial networks and institutional stakeholders. The multidisciplinary and multi-stakeholder development of new learnings - of trainers, refugees, profit and no-profit stakeholders, and local communities involved in experimentation projects, in a dimension which is always set in operational contexts - is promoted on two levels, transnational and local.The DIRECT BENEFICIARIES are:- 11 operators of vocational training in the TRANSNATIONAL MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM;- 30 operators of the partnership and of local networks in the LOCAL MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAMS; - 90 public and private, profit and no-profit stakeholders, in COMMUNITY BUILDING SITES;- 45 REFUGEES. The INDIRECT BENEFICIARIES, reached by communication campaign and multiplier events, are:- 300 ASYLUM SEEKERS AND REFUGEES;- 2,500 LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS in fields close to the project topics and to the issue of refugees’ inclusion; - 10,000 CITIZENS. The EXPECTED RESULT is a methodological and operational contribution to the increase in the employability of refugees, also through the combined growth, between ‘specialist’ operators and the economic/productive world, of capabilities and entrepreneurial spirit applied to social inclusion processes.In particular:- Transnational mapping of SCE experiences, fostering an understanding of the purposes of SCE and its possible use on a European scale;- Definition of a model of Social Community Enterprise oriented to the inclusion of refugees, allowing for the translation into ESF/ERDF management regulations and providing tools for the management of SCEs able to generate employment;- Definition of innovative methods (Building sites and Business Canvas) for the executive management of: o Local multi-stakeholder actions of social community enterprises, in socio-economic sectors peculiar for the integration and employability of refugees;o Learning pathways for refugees in informal contexts/on the job. The IMPACT force on the territories is ensured by the fact that the project objectives are ingrained in the mission of the partners that are deeply rooted in said territories and connected by stable and strategic relations to institutions and policy-makers. At the end of the project the partners therefore sign a Memorandum of Understanding.The project results are brought forward by the partners and institutions of every country, in their regular activities of training and social development, as well as by the institutions in regulatory frameworks (ESF/ERDF management) that in turn ensure a long-term impact on other territories, local and regional bodies of partner countries and EU member states in general.
