As a result of the European Relocation and Resettlement Program, most of European countries are now hosting a larger number of refugees and asylum seekers than before, and are therefore developing hosting and integration programs, with the main goal of promoting their full inclusion.The Refu’In is an international partnership that aims to identify and disseminate good practices on the intervention and inclusion of refugees in their host countries. The good practices found in the different participant countries will result in a Training kit, designed in an innovative way, allowing any entity to train their technicians and therefore improve their intervention strategies with asylum seekers and refugees.The project involves many different stakeholders in all of its activities: questionnaires that will gather the perspectives of field workers, asylum seekers and refugees, and other relevant technicians in every participating country; focus groups providing insights into how people think and a deeper understanding of the work towards the inclusion of refugees; national forums with external partners and relevant stakeholders, to share preliminary results and receive inputs through working groups; one international conference including a Training kit kickoff session. The Training kit will be available for any interested entity, allowing, on a longer term, the dissemination of the good practices found and therefore improving the quality of the services provided to the asylum seekers and refugees in Europe, and ultimately reaching a better inclusion.

SUMMARYDigital skills are crucial for jobs and social inclusion. The rapid growth of internet access and connectivity has paved the way for the development of a digital economy around the world. However, there are large inequalities due to a lack of digital skills in both developed and developing countries, particularly in terms of socio-economic status, ethnic background, gender, geography, age and educational attainment (UNESCO 2018). The Covid 19 pandemic has made the situation even more dramatic, especially with regard to forced migration. Refugees are one of the most vulnerable groups in European society. They are even more affected by the consequences of the pandemic than the majority population and there is currently no prospect of an improvement in the situation. The accreditation or nostrification of their vocational training is often a further obstacle to the pursuit of a profession that corresponds to their qualifications and to a meaningful integration into society.On the other hand, refugees have a huge potential to contribute to society and to the ambitious goals of the EU Green Deal. They have a powerful role to play in driving the transformation towards climate neutrality forward, and could become climate diplomats in third countries.The @Go4DiGREEN@ digital job training program aims to improve the situation of European refugees by improving digital and entrepreneurial skills of this target group in a measurable and sustainable way. Addressing core principles of the EU, such as accessibility and inclusion, and contributing to the European Green Deal, the project consortium will develop barrier-free and needs-oriented training materials on green entrepreneurship through the synthesis of specifically selected systems and tools that have already proven their worth (e.g. Digicomp, Entrecomp, MOOCs4inclusion, digital accessibility, ECQA, etc.) with the involvement of the target group right from the start through the design thinking approach.The outputs of the project are:1) Design Thinking: digital guidelines to empower potential green entrepreneurs for the target group of vocational trainers2) A Certification Scheme - European Green Entrepreneur for the target group of vocational trainers - “ECQA Certified Refugee Entrepreneurship Trainer in Green Economy”3) Accessible Learning Materials to become a Certified European Green Entrepreneur - “ECQA Certified European Green Entrepreneur” the target group of refugees and migrants as well as for persons who want to acquire digital skills and qualifications as entrepreneurs in the green economy.4) A Digital vocational training platform - Green Entrepreneur for the target group of refugees and migrants as well as for persons who want to acquire digital skills and qualifications as entrepreneurs in the green economy.@Go4DiGREEN@ will analyse all 442 EntreComp learning outcomes from the 3 areas of competence 1) Ideas and opportunities, 2) Resources and 3) Taking action, making them accessible and adaptable to the target group. The result will be two new ECQA certificates: a) ECQA-certified European Green Entrepreneur, and b) ECQA certified trainer/consultant for refugee entrepreneurship - Green EconomyThe expected impact is to make refugees fit to become European green entrepreneurs, so that they can contribute to the objectives of the Green Deal: Europe needs a clean and circular economy with more recycling, sustainable and intelligent mobility and greener products in our shops.
