Start a new DMP in Loading
During the last years of the financial crisis that threatened the European Union (EU), the economic activity and employment seem to have improved in EI countries, but this recovery has not been beneficial for everyone equally. On the contrary, inequalities became more evident and long-lasting, particularly due to the years of the continuing financial crisis. Considering this scenario, due to the migration flows from the last years, the EU highlighted the inclusion of immigrants in the labour market is key to ensure their effective integration. The project addressed a significant gap in knowledge and provision for immigrants with disabilities. Many EU countries have recently adopted anti-discrimination laws, although usually limited to multi-discrimination in relation to employment and occupation. Despite this change, there is still a lack of visibility and understanding of intersectorial discrimination, thus, knowledge how this may cause discriminationthe sectorsctor such as education, access to goods and services, social protection, etc.Adult educators working with immigrants with disabilities and long-term health conditions are facing a challenge insofar as traditional pedagogy is no longer relevant or inclusive in the context of the specific needs of this group of learners. To become inclusive, the teaching/learning environment should be adjusted to the learners’ needs and to fit this environment, educators working with this group should have a much wider range of competences to be able to organise personalized learning and involve in it their adult learnersThe project objectives, and therefore, the needs addressed were:•Build the capacity of educators to recognize cases of double discrimination.•Strengthen professional competences of educators of how to recognize and handle cases of double discrimination in an educational context.•Promote social inclusion of immigrants with disabilities and long-term health conditions through non-formal and informal learning.•Strengthen the capacity and ability of organisations providing learning opportunities to immigrants with disabilities
