Adult Migrant Integration Experts

Description

The background of the ADMIRE project relies upon the realization that successful integration of migrant communities into civic and political life is essential for a cohesive and inclusive society in Europe to be achieved. To this end, the project has developed a training program to harness the skills of migrant community experts in the areas of Information Gap, Network Gap, Political Socialisation and Voter Motivation. The reason for the aforementioned choices is that the ADMIRE project consortium believes that it is on the adult education sector and migrant support NGOs where the real onus for integration lies. ADMIRE partners are convinced that men and women drawn from the migrant communities themselves, appropriately trained and supported, are a considerable asset to support the work of existing service providers to foster the integration of migrant communities in civic and political life. With this in mind, the new curriculum intervention has provided members of the migrant community the opportunity to participate in the training to be provided. Migrant communities rely heavily on technology and social media as communication channels with distant friends and relations. They also display a high level of dependence on the Internet and social media channels as information sources. The project's objectives were the following:1. The development of a Migrant Integration Expert Curriculum2. The production of a digital toolbox relating to the curriculum3. The on-line platform with the curriculum and the digital resources4. The on-line political observatory with information regarding each partner country's political system5. The scientific paper with the corresponding policy guidelinesEach of the above objectives corresponded to an Intellectual Outpout and were fully achieved. The whole material was translated in all partner languages. The project also included an ex ante and ex post internal evaluation conducted by an academic faculty member. The project consortium consisted of the following partners:-The University of the Peloponnese, Greece as the project leader, through the Department of Social and Education Policy - Coopérative d'Activité et d'Emploi dans les Services A la Personne et la Silver Economie (CDE-SAP) from France - Meath Partnership, an NGO from Ireland - The European Learning Center (ELC) , an adult education center from Spain - Oxfam Italia, an NGO from Italy - The Center for Advancement of Research and Development in Educational Technology (CARDET), a research center from CyprusThe ADMIRE project was disseminated into an wide range of audiences.
