Action for socio-economic integration of refugees and asylum seekers

Description

The integration of people with a migrant background is a fundamental element both for the past and for the future of EU; data update at January 2018 state that 22.3 million people (4.4 %) of the 512.4 million people living in the EU were non-EU citizens. Several studies show as immigration could bring a positive contribution to public finances and welfare of host EU countries, considering the level of skills and competences possessed by immigrants, and the duration of the integration process. Fast and successful integration is essential in order to maximize the opportunities generated by migrant flows. At the same time, other researches confirm that migrants face obstacles and suffer of discrimination behaviours. Particularly, the refugees/asylum seekers arrived with the recent migration flows composed a specific vulnerable group due to the absence of a defined migratory project (they have had to abandon rapidly the country of origin), and the consequences of abuses suffered before to leave the country and during the travel to EU. Other problems are: - Low knowledge of host country language and illiteracy; - Difficulties about the recognize of qualification and skills possessed; - Lack of access to quality education system; - Limited access to job market; - Discrimination to the housing access. In several cases, they suffer the manifestations of xenophobic and racist behaviours by local communities due to the unsafety perception and feelings. During the last two years, Germany was the first EU country for the number of requests of humanitarian protection, followed by Italy and Greece. “IntegrAction – Action for socio-economic integration of refugees and asylum seekers” project is elaborated by ANOLF Marche in collaboration with KMOP (GR), IED (GR), Learnmera (FI), and Job4Refugees (DE) in order to promote the social and economic inclusion of the refugees and asylum seekers (project target) in the local context of reception. Specific objectives are:- Improve the linguistic competences of refugees and asylum seekers in order to promote the process of socio-economic integration;- Increase the employability of immigrants through the strengthening of socio-professional and entrepreneurship competences aimed at job placement, active job search and self-employment;- Develop social and intercultural competences in immigrants stimulating their active participation in the local communities through mutual understanding initiatives.The project activities will start on October 2019 and will end on March 2022 (30 months). In order to reach its objectives, the project partnership intends to realize 3 Intellectual Outputs connected with the main barriers faced by refugees and asylum seekers: host country language, access to the job market, social acceptation by local communities of the host country. The IO1 - “Tool4aLLs - Toolkit on digital tools for Literacy and Language proficiency”; the IO2 “Immigrants in the Labour Market: a manual to facilitate entrepreneurship and business start-up”; the IO3 “Webdoc – Migrant Diaries” will be tested during the project lifetime with the main participants of the projects: operators, teachers, educators, migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, native people. Then, the partnership will share them to the local communities during 5 Multipliers Events. The main expected results at the end of the project are:- Activation of lifelong learning attitude in refugees/asylum seekers.- Increased awareness among refugees and asylum seekers of local, national and European labor market mechanisms and increased opportunities to open their own business.- Raised awareness of citizens towards refugees and their problems and minimizing the feeling of xenophobia of the community. - Development of a more effective and closer cooperation among the authorities, organizations and institutions working within the fields of migration and integration process.The project partnership will coordinate and assure the correct implementation of the project activities through 5 Transnational Project Meetings (i.e. Management Board Meetings). Four Evaluation Sessions will be also realized with the aim to introduce possible corrective actions without harming the overall project activites flow. Thanks to the exhaustive Dissemination and Communication Plan elaborated during the first two months of the project lifetime, the project outcomes and results will be disseminated at local, national and European level through an online and offline communication campaign.
