Migration is a phenomenon that is part of the actuality of Europe. The European Commission has adopted an Action Plan on 2016 that includes actions about education, language training, teacher training, civic education, employment, vocational training and also actions to promote early integration into the labour market and migrants entrepreneurship. There is still a lack of policy focus when it comes to the integration of migrant women. Although adult schools play an important role to acquire basic and professional skills, the rate of participation in the courses is limited for immigrant women as the current education structure does not specifically focus on needs of immigrants.Integrate2EU project aims to improve the social inclusion of immigrant women through the development and improvement of their competences (social, cultural, values, organizational, educational, etc.). To increase the social integration of immigrant women, Integrate2EU aims to strengthen the participation of women immigrants in language and vocational courses within adult schools, on the other hand, to create a migrant centered approach in these schools that takes into account the needs, sensitivities and sociocultural characteristics of immigrant women. In addition, employers are important actors in increasing the visibility of women migrants in the professional and so social field. Determining the needs of employers, informing employers about immigrant workforce and creating a link between employers and immigrants will provide a holistic approach to strengthening women's employment and social visibility. Integrate2EU project intends to reinforce: participatory attitude of migrant women to adult schools, communication between adult school staff and immigrant women, entrepreneurial capacities of migrant women and cooperation between the migrant workforce and professional domain.There will be four main groups of participants: 1) Adults immigrant women: They will be selected from both those who are students in adult schools and those who are not. 2) Adult school staff: They will be selected between the adults’ schools and organization which are full partners in the project. 3) Employers (small and medium sized enterprise): It is necessary to reveal the needs of employers and to establish a bridge between immigrants and employers by evaluating the potential for the immigrant workforce. 4) The institutions who have the political responsibility for adult education and immigration: They are important actors on the dissemination activities and on the validation of the final product and also to reach out to immigrants and schools.Two intellectual outputs (IO) will be produced. Intellectual Output (IO1) “Digital Tools for Social and Occupational Integration of Female Migrants” will be produce in the context of immigrant women' needs. We will develop a digital application for immigrant women and also employers will also be able to use these tool. This tool accelerate the integration social of the immigrant women and their digital competences. The digital tool will create workforce communication opportunities between immigrant women and employers. Intellectual Output (IO2) “Alternate Intercultural Communication Guidebook for Trainers who Teach Migrants” aims to create a guidebook for trainers who teach migrants. This will include the use of emotional intelligence, migrant integration, cooperation, empathy technique, prevention of discrimination and intercultural communication. This will be also delivered to policy makers to disseminate these from local to national level to increase integration of migrants.At the same time, these outcomes will be supported by seminars and workshops according to the needs of each group.The expected impact of Integrate2EU on migrant women is to improve the professional and basic skills, to expand the use of digital tools, to reinforce their autonomy and sociability. The expected impact on adult school staff is to gain intercultural communication skills. The expected impact on employers is to learn more about immigrant labour qualifications and contributions. The expected impact on political responsible is to contribute to social inclusion policy practices. These practices can be extended to other adult schools.Methodology steps to be used in carrying out the project are; In-depth needs analysis for both immigrant women and employers, Development of digital tools (IO1), Creating an intercultural guide (IO2), Pilot implementation of digital tools and guide, identifying deficiencies and re-creating the tools, Simultaneous application of both outputs to target audiences, Seminars and workshops for each group (migrant women, school staff and employers) simultaneously, Dissemination of activities.The tools obtained will be given to the use of the institutions after the project is completed and the institutions will be able to use it while making their training application planning.

Project Education for Deeper Social Integration – from theory to practice (from here onwards EDSI TP / project) is an organic continuation of Erasmus+ KA2 project EDSI, which discovered good practices in the field of adult education. EDSI TP continues with the basic aim of the previous project, only it is now focused on preparing intellectual results, which are key for development of competences of teaching staff and better addressing of needs of vulnerable groups. Project is prepared by the consortium of 7 countries (Slovenia, Bulgaria, Italy, Great Britain, Serbia, Germany and Poland) from different regions of Europe, which thus guarantee a mixture of various complementary perspectives at addressing of common challenges.Project primarily addresses development and spreading of competences of teaching staff, which is involved in projects and programmes of adult education. Based on our previous experience and experiences of our partner organizations in this field, there are numerous shortcomings, especially in relation to education of vulnerable groups that require differently structured approaches, higher level of empathy and good understandment of intercultural differences as well as possibility to solve conflicts, that can lead out of these conditions. In order to successfully integrate and socially activate vulnerable groups in partner countries, well-trained teaching staff and organizations with suitable capacities to carry out such operations, are required. Consortium EDSI TP is based on three pillars. First is knowledge and perspectives, that we have developed along previous project. Second is detailed conversations and interviews with persons with fewer opportunities. Third is needs of organizations and educators that work in the afore mentioned areas. Before we have prepared the projects we carried out some conversations with recipients of the project, so that we can take their actual needs and challenges into consideration. Aim of the project is to create an educational kit that will help educators of adults with fewer opportunities, to address the most crucial contents in the best possible way.Goals:-Create innovative educational programmes intended for improvement of competences of educators-Developing capacities of organizations that deal with education of adults-Improve educational programmes intended for people with fewer opportunities, especially in the field of digital literacy, capabilities of individual leadership, entrepreneurship and EU values,-Increase attendance at educational lectures and level of cooperation at them-Work on the inter-cultural dialogue, understanding diversity and fight discriminationGoals of the project will be achieved by developing 2 intellectual results:-Digital tool for educators that will allow them wholesome approach to adult education with fewer opportunities-Educational promo videos that are funny and innovative tool for getting across project contents to general public. Organization of 4 international learning activities that will have common role at developing digital tools and will address topics that the focus groups have pointed out as the most problematic:-Digital competences and functional literacy (14 attendants)-Individual approach and career guidance (14 attendants)-Entrepreneurship (14 attendants)-Common European Values (14 attendants)And organization of multiplication event which will serve as a catalyser of dissemination of intellectual result. We suppose that the event will be attended by some 70 people.Project will affect competences of educators, capacities of the organizations and over the latter also educational experiences and social inclusion of adults with fewer opportunities.

"The aim of this project is to work primarily with families, on common values such as coexistence, social inclusion and citizen participation in order to achieve, in collaboration with Educational Centers and Local Authorities, safer European towns and cities. To justify the project, we draw from several studies on school violence in European countries. In Spain we have referred to the report of the ANPE Teaching Union Teacher’s Ombudsman for the 2018-2019 academic year on cases of violence in educational centers. In this study and in other European studies, they agree that approximately: 30% are cases of harassment, insults, and false accusations by families, 8% are cases of physical attacks on teachers, 4% are cases of pressure for grades, 10% are cases of use of new technologies for harassment (photos, recordings, Internet publications, mobile phone misuse), 20% are cases of disrespect, insults, assaults and threats on the part of students.This data shows that the highest percentage of cases which affect coexistence come from within families. For this reason, it is necessary to start with the families themselves, to solve those confliects which affect day-to-day school life and, in the long term, citizens’ coexistence, creating insecure towns and cities.Citizen participation is required: Parents' Associations, Neighborhood Associations and Youth Associations, working together to create strong, stable families, which is a basic principle to raise children with higher levels of well-being and more positive academic results. The first pillar of the project is to unite all the representatives of the families and instill in them, a common spirit of European citizenship and positive coexistence. Our main focus is on families, but we should not ignore what surrounds them, including the schools where their children are educated and the town or city in which they live, because the individual is sociable by nature and interacts with others, especially with people from your town or city.This is how the third element, the towns or cities in which these families live, springs into action as part of the project. The idea of the project is to achieve considerate, active families who strive for peaceful coexistence, working side by side with the educational centers, but with the support of local authorities who will create the necessary legal mechanisms to create the citizen participation bodies that unite the efforts of families and neighbours in the fight to put an end to violence.The high incidence in cases of violence in schools caused by families does not only occur in Spain, but also in most other European countries. This is why we need to join forces in all the partner countries andunite synergies to end this violence which is becoming a social scourge in Europe.We are a highly trained consortium in the field of coexistence: Etaireia (Greece) and the Association ""Virgen de los Remedios"" (Spain) worked for several years on the ""Promoting School Safety"" project. It is not enough to create safe schools and we must go one step further, by creating safe towns and cities with the support of families, in collaboration with schools and with the protection of local institutions. These two partners have worked for many years with the partner, Cumbria Credits (United Kingdom) with their own additional experience in school centered conflict resolution.This consortium is strengthened by the entry of the AIS Association (Austria), with wide experience in social inclusion, since inclusion and the empowerment of coexistence is the only guarantor of interculturality and of the direct fight against any form of intolerance. Villamayor Town Council is key creating a legal framework for those families to actively participate in their town or city through Sector Councils or another European formulae in the construction of a united Europe.This consortium, using active methodology and competence-based work and evaluation, especially as regards social competences, will be able to create a FAMILY SCHOOL, to train parents. Parents perform functions that surpass any other known activity in terms of relevance, time, effort and dedication and yet there is no formal training to prepare them.A hard, yet exciting, innovative task, that will allow families to support schools and local institutions in improving coexistence. The end result is a multilingual platform that will make it possible to provide all families in Europe with a virtual family school, the contents of face-to-face courses and a guide to improving family coexistence. This is the most effective way to make European towns and cities safer."

With the project “Education for Deeper Social Integration” (EDSI) we established a strong international network of institutions dealing with education of adults, especially those, who belong to vulnerable groups. The main tasks of the project were the international training activities for educators coming from partner organisations and researching good practices in related to integration and education of adults with fewer opportunities. Through realising these two fundaments the project also achieved a positive impact on the end beneficiaries, adults with fewer opportunities, and on the capacities of partner organisations. The approaches and strategies to addressing the refugee crisis and integration of vulnerable persons differ throughout Europe and it is very relevant to explore the best practices and the possibilities of their transfer to new local environments. The result of this was the collection of good practices, which is freely available. In the project we included educational staff with existing experience from partner organisations in international training activities, which addressed their knowledge and competences related to educating refugees and other vulnerable groups and their integration into wider society and the labor market. With this in mind we formed a partnership, which included organisations actively working with vulnerable groups, especially persons with international protection, and having strong local, national and international networks, through which we enabled the cooperation of outside experts. 68 educators, coming from Slovenia, Greece, Bulgaria, Italy, the Czech Republic, Spain and the United Kingdom, working with refugees and other vulnerable groups attended the 5 international activities. These were based on non-formal education methods, flexible educational modules, ICT and a considerable amount of field work and meetings with local stakeholders. The programme of these international activities was supplemented with dissemination events, which included round tables, exhibitions, concerts, press conferences and workshops. By implementing EDSI we:- increased the capacities of organisations, which are educating adults with international protection and other vulnerable groups;- developed the competences, knowledge, linguistic and soft skills of educational staff, who work with adults with fewer opportunities, and thus the project positively influenced the results educational processes in their home organisations;- collected and explored examples of good and innovative practices and methods and analysed the potential of their transfer into new local environments; shared these results in a wider circle of stakeholders on local, national and international levels;- instituted a lasting international network of organisations, which are focused on adult education and vulnerable groups, and used this network for developing and implementing new projects and initiatives building on EDSI-fostered intersectional and interdisciplinary cooperation- fostered intercultural dialogue, the understanding of differences and the fight against discrimination and radicalisation in all social spheres.The project was an important contribution to the development of the capacities of all partner organisations and increased the international dimension of their work. Through the preparation of the collection of good practices and its’ presentations we also acquainted them with good practices, which were implemented in the fields in which the partners are active, and also presented the context of their development and possibilities of their transfer. The collection of good practices addresses the issues, which the partner organisations, and others in the field, face in their daily work and also presents the possible solutions to them. This result was not limited only to consortium members. It was disseminated to other actors in the field and also presented to them during the field work part of international activities. Besides this tangible result the project through international activities and cultural and educational events also contributed to intercultural and inter-religious dialogue, easier integration of refugees and an increase in understanding differences between different social groups.
