Digital Inclusive Business School

Description

<< Background >>EU faces a huge challenge, the socio-economic inclusion of the increasing population of the target group of this project: Migrant Low Qualified Adults (MALQs)Eurostats: the EU unemployment rate was 7.3% in January 2021, up from 6.6% in January 2020. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/portlet_file_entry/2995521/3-04032021-AP-EN.pdf/cb6e5dd6-56c2-2196-16b7-baf811b84a4fSituation gets worse in some of the consortium partners countries:Greece 16.5%, followed by Spain at 16.1%, Italy 9.9%. Situaion becomes really serious when focusing on the MALQ population: the EU-27 unemployment rate for people aged 20 to 64 years was 12.3 %, for those born outside the EU, 7.3 % but for those born in another EU Member State and 6.0 % for the native-born population. Diversity of the migrant community: Eurostat shows that EU migrant population growing rapidly in number and diversity. Practical and inclusion education is more important than ever.Eurostats: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Migration_and_migrant_population_statisticsThe Digital Inclusive Business School (DIBS) will support the EU and the Eramus+ program to promote and include vulnerable groups such MALQs by developing a holistic inclusive business and support. This mail goal will subordinate and inspire the totality of the projects results and outcomes.DIBS will offer a long-term and lifelong solution that will finally encourage the development of blended enterprises where migrants and locals will work together to create new enterprises.MALQs will then be capable to fully integrate socio-economically, breaking up exclusion barriers and the ghettos to finally enjoy and be proud of the migrant origin and full citizenship rights.Also, DIBS will set up the path to promote a Pan-European network of Business Inclusive Business Schools resembling top private business schools.Below you will find a list of MALQs main needs.- DIBS e-platform will address their limited study time during working hours as well as the lack of study habit. The platform will also break geographical barriers (a large percentage of the immigrant population lives in rural areas or the suburbs of big cities)- DIBS tailored content will address their specific training needs of their businesses - DIBS modularity will address the learning flexibility they need. - DIBS will include a digital module to address the need for digital training.- DIBS blended learning methodology will support their need to be mentored during the training. The platform will have a video conferencing capability to provide online coaching and mentoring. - DIBS will create a network of users to address the need for a supportive community and a marketplace of business ideas for migrants. - DIBS strong partnership combines top business education with organization working at the grassroots. This addresses the need for high-quality but tailored education adapted to their need’s indication.- DIBS will certify the study of their modules so they can get local recognition from training companies or universities. The certification will target integration and inclusion.- DIBS business case methodology will address they need to have practical content and practical tools to develop their business from the minute one.- DIBS sustainability plan will promote the creation of digital business schools all across Europe to create a network of sustainable business ideas and to raising public awareness about the opportunity of embracing migration into the social economic future of Europe.- DIBS will include a specific module about environmentally friendly businesses to address the immense and urgent need to fight against climate change.<< Objectives >>We will keep in mind the fundamental DIBS objective: the education of the Migrant Adults Low Qualified in business competences to facilitate their effective social-economic and cultural inclusion.We foresee forward-looking learning centers where low-qualified migrants have access to quality training as educated people do. Perhaps we are we might be a bring adults to university, however they will certainly be an example for their children who will be inspired to embark on the adventure of lifelong learning.We aim to be an example of a project worthy of recognition by Erasmus +. We want to encourage the further creation of public-private initiatives for the development of Inclusive Business Schools across the EUWe also want to be an example at international level of the inclusive EU policy with regard to migrants.We will do all this with a humble attitude of hard work and the pursuit of excellence in each of our actions.<< Implementation >>We will implement a logic model to achieve objectives and results. It is rational regarding the project planning, management, implementation and evaluation functions, as well as the knowledge generation and sharing. However it is creative in order to encourage creativity and innovation, parallel thinking and brainstorming how long is the project living room for process and methodology improvement Activity logic model: Activities> Inputs> Outputs> Outcomes> Impact: 1.Activities: The planned project activities and tasks to be accomplished will be described in detail2.Resources/inputs: Necessary data and resources to support the achievement of the activity. These include human resources, level of expertise, feedback and input from stakeholders etc3.Results: The desired/expected results that will be produced4.Outcomes: Identification of the short- and long-term outcomes expected/desired for the activity.5. Impact: Description of the long-term impact anticipated in local, national, European and international level as a result of the project, and how each activity will support the generation of this impact.The kick-off meeting will be the starting point for structuring the activities. The Steering Committee, Promotion and Quality Committee will be created. They will execute ongoing evaluations of intermediate and final results. Working groups will be created and activities will be distributed according to their strengths. The development of the website as well as the internal and external promotion of the project will be also initiated at this point to maximise visibility.Project results can be divided into 3 main areas:- Education of MALQs in entrepreneurial skills so they can leverage on their talents, improve skills from high- quality entrepreneurial training tailored to their needs. - Maximising the use of the content and results among trainers, coaches, social enterprises and social workers by training them in the effective use of the program.- Long-term sharing and promotion of results and teaching model inspired in higher education case-based model so that project activities will mentor the first 5 years of the entrepreneurial initiatives of this target group in order to facilitate the creation of inclusive businesses and minimise their mistakes. This will lead to the successful social economic integration of migrant adults low qualified. We expect and work hard so that our sustainability goal sustainability goal will be supported by public and Private local organisations and institutions working with MALQs as well as training companies. The partners actually want to create the DIBS locally and nationally.Consecutive Project Phases:a) Development Phase: design and development tasks and activities necessary the core project activities and results: - the mapping, through primary and secondary research, of the specific needs in terms of entrepreneurial education for MALQs but also the needs of educators and volunteers working with the target group in terms of the more effective support the socio-economic reintegration of MALQs; (Result 1)- the design and development of the modular capacity building program and the training manuals for educators (result 2)- Development of the online platform and the Inclusive Business Labs.
