A major challenge for the increasingly multicultural Europe, amidst the ongoing refugee crisis, is the smooth social integration of ethnic and cultural minorities (ECM), including their children. Migrant integration takes place at multiple levels, and one of the most sensitive fields is that of school education. There are many interventions focusing on teacher competence, the concept of intercultural education, and diversity management in the classroom. However, another important factor affecting the integration process is parental engagement and attitude. Both parents from the host societies and migrant/refugee parents have direct influence on the attitude, behavior and performance of their children, and consequently the integration process as a whole. Positive parental engagement is of paramount importance for the social inclusion of ECM children.The overall objective of the Parents4all project was to raise awareness, empower, and develop the intercultural competences among parents of the host society and migrant/refugee parents alike in order to enable them to contribute effectively to the social inclusion of ECM school-age children. The specific objectives of the project were to:- Actively involve parents in the design of effective interventions for migrant social inclusion- Create tailor-made training material for parents from the host societies in order to effectively deal with diversity and support school activities for social inclusion- Create empowering training material for migrant/refugee parents in order to be able to better support their children in the integration process and effectively collaborate with school staff- Create an effective self-assessment methodology for parents regarding intercultural skills and migrant/refugee pupil inclusion- Raise awareness among parents of both target groups through the production of inspiring audiovisual material- Make recommendations to stakeholders of education and social inclusion for a sustainable intervention methodology addressing parents- Promote the notion that parental engagement for social inclusion is a collaborative, reciprocal, and mutually rewarding process6 organizations from Greece, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Spain and the UK participated. Olympic Training, a VET center from Greece, coordinated the project. BEMIS, Scotland, is the national umbrella organization for the Ethnic Minority Voluntary Sector and the communities that this sector represents; ifa Akademie, Germany, is the training and education center of the Institute for Foreign Relations; Soros International House, Lithuania, is a language school involved in integration projects; Programma Integra, Italy, is a social cooperative active in migrant integration; the University of Huelva, Spain, was the academic partner of the consortium.The project involved directly all target groups (parents and stakeholders) in output production. The consortium directly involved over 355 individuals from the main target groups in the project activities, at least 60 of which were persons with cultural differences and/or refugees. Products were tested in a piloting phase. Through the dissemination activities carried out by the consortium and the associated partners, more than 30,000 persons were reached.The activities implemented were:- Development of a methodology for training parents on intercultural competences and active support of ECM pupil integration- Creation of training material tailored to the needs of a) parents from the host societies, and b) ECM parents- Creation of a toolkit for self-assessment on intercultural competences and the need for training in integration issues- Production of a video and a short film designed to raise awareness among parents, promote understanding between the two parent groups and motivate to positive action- Creation of a guide providing recommendations to stakeholders for the exploitation of project products at national level- Extensive dissemination activities, including an international conferenceParents4all raised awareness among parents and stakeholders on ECM children integration issues and the necessity of parental training and engagement. Parents are provided with tested tools to improve their intercultural competences and responsiveness to social, ethnic and cultural diversity and to be empowered in participating more actively in issues related to education and inclusion. The project also provided stakeholders and policy makers with tools for a more holistic social and educational policy.In the long term, improved competences and increased awareness on behalf of parents are expected to have a positive effect on the interaction of pupils of different origins, cooperation with school, and social integration in general.
