    The management of refugee crisis is one of the most challenging problems of EU and some other countries due to its complex social, political and economic stages. This process requires rapid and effective steps to form necessary conditions for the integration of immigrants into society. In Turkey, more than 4 million refugees live in Turkey and five thousands of them accommodates in Düzce. One of the most fundamental measures to be taken for complete and durable integration is the inclusion of immigrants into labor market and ultimately economic welfare of these people. In order to learn, search, socialize, develop their abilities and knowledge for new job opportunities, get vocational educations and successfully carry out the job they find; the language barriers in front of a healthier and faster integration process have to destroyed. However, most of these people can’t get a working permission. Although a definite part can achieve a faster and easier inclusion into labor market after destroying language barriers, the other part that form the bigger part can't work due to not being able to get a work permission requiring a long process or mostly results in as negatively. Therefore, these people have to be a seasonal worker in agriculture and livestock sector or being an employer. At this point, there is a big need to develop the entrepreneurship skill of the immigrants. Within the project, we developed language modules that can carry the beneficiaries from A1 to A2 level, shared these modules via a platform, created a practical handbook for urgent help in daily situations with daily structures and dialogues and developed a comprehensive entrepreneurship training module. The outputs were designed with four related EU partner to get more innovative and international results that are suitable for the target group needs and profiles. All the good practices, experiences and innovations in partner countries was searched, the outputs were developed, then the project outputs were disseminated with local and international events. With better communication abilities, immigrants can integrate into the city they live, local people can communicate with these people more easily and all these outcomes provide a more peaceful society. With better language and entrepreneurship skills, they can now look for job opportunities, include in vocational courses and effectively work in worklife. With developed entrepreneurship skills they can be more active, equipped and create new job opportunities for themselves and maybe for other local people. These effects can be observed in all partner countries and with dissemination activities the project outputs and effects were shared at international and EU level. During dissemination and evaluation activities, it was obvious that the outputs will be effective and used by many related organizations and immigrants in order to develop their langauge and entrepreneurship skills.

    "The project concerned the exchange of practices in the field of effective citizens inclusion into the process of designing and developing e-services by the local and regional administration. In the digital times of today, there are more and more opportunities for citizens to become involved in such processes. Nowdays the local and regional authorities are increasingly facilitating the citizens' cooperation with various types of applications and virtual platforms. They care about the fact that public institutions have ceased to be perceived as hostile institutions for residents, hindering their daily life and dealing with administrative matters. Moreover, often in the context of such e-services they offer opportunities for participation, e.g. in the public consultations or in forms of civic participation. Unfortunately, this offer is still very inaccessible to people with low competences and digital skills. Due to the lack of effective ways in terms of learning using e-government services, some part of the population is even more socially excluded. For this reason, the project handle the issue of social inclusion through using the open and innovative practices related to new technologies. Therefore, the main objective is using the idea of e-government as a tool for more effective social inclusion of EU citizens. The aim is to be more e-governance than e-government. Through the development of good practices in adults teaching effectively, especially for those who have low educational competences, we can change this situation and take advantage of the potential of e-government fully.In the project over 600 people were involved, including 240 in Turkey, 124 in the Czech Republic, 171 in Poland and 108 in Spain. Participants were people with low digital skills, eg elderly people, residents od rural areas or migrants. In the project, we also established cooperation with non-governmental organizations or specialists in the ICT industry. Very important partners were local and regional administration offices that implement e-services and inform and train residents in this area. The basic activities were transnational meetings in Poland, the Czech Republic, Spain and Turkey. We exchanged experiences during them, we learned good practices and worked out an e-book recommendation. During field work, each of the partners held meetings on e-services with residents, cooperated with offices, eg by researching the user experience of existing e-services and developing a plan of information activities.One of most important results of our activities is an effective exchange of experiences between partner organisations and cooperating institutions on how to involve citizens and encourage them to use e-government services. Thanks to these acttvities the E-book titled: ""E-GOVERNMENT CLOSER TO THE PEOPLE"" was written. The main issues within this publicaton are: what is the idea of e-governance and how the systems of e-government in all project partners' countries looks like, what are good practice examples for effective adult learning with the use of new technologies in differnect countries and how effective are e-government practices in partner countries and also how to educate effectively low-skilled citizens by using e-government. In order to make the publication more practical, we took much care of the recommendations and references. We exchanged our national experiences putting special interests on the obstacles in using e-government and e-services, needs, barriers, support and key elements of effective usage of e-government. We discovered the big gap in designing effective adult education which can transfer effectively the knowledge of e-government services and acquire skills in using them. We have already taken steps to create a continuation of the project. We want to develop a specific platform that could be used by the administration and non-profit organizations in creating e-services, especially at the local level with strong involvment of the citizens. We would like also work out specific educational forms for adults that would be the most engaging and effective way to teach using e-services."
