"When the partners applied for the project many refugees - mainly from Syria - came to Europe, especially to Germany, Austria and Sweden. Amongst them were highly educated people, students, people with diploma etc. From an ethical, economic and social point of view it was and is important to try to integrate those people as fast as possible and to find ways to bring them into the labour market, into jobs, which match their qualifications and competences. This project tried to support refugees and migrants finding a proper track of integration. Its main focus was to support refugees and migrants to get access to higher education, especially universities. The consortium wanted to work on this overall aim by adressing important institutions of education - institutions and NGOS of adult education and universities. Adult education can help the refugees to make their path to universites easier and more effective by different means: language courses, collecting, assessing the competences of the target group and making them visible and offering guidance. In cooperation with universities and other institutions adult education can create paths to make the access to higher education easier and to support processes of validation of given competences and qualifications. The participating organisations were organisations working exactly at the interface with universities, VNB with the open university Niedersachsen, uniT with the Karl-Franzens university and the university of applied sciences in Graz, Cardet with the university of Nicosia, VIFIN with the university of Copenhagen and CESIE with the university of Palermo. The main activities of the project were the meetings of the consortium with local and regional experts to get to know and to discuss good practice examples. Each partner organized a meeting and experts from universities, NGOs, migrants`communities and adult education organisations. They gave an overview of the situation in their country and region and presented good practice examples of how to support the target group. Each partner also brought in its own expertise -VNB its experiences in qualification, guidance and competence checks, uniT its experience in qualification, guidance and competence checks by using creative methods and arts and especially its project ""Silent University"" which gives migrants and refugees the opportunity to show their competences by taking part in research and teaching projects, VIFIN and Cardet their special expertise in blended and online learning, CESIE its expertise in working with migrants and the special method of Danilo Dolci. Stakeholders on local and regional leves were involved in these activities and meetings, too - as guests or as speechers or by getting the newsletters.The activities lead to different interesting results and impacts - for the partners, cooperating organisations and the stakeholders:- It became clear that the language skills are one of the most important barriers. It takes a certain amount of time to learn a language from the scratch to a level which fulfills the demands of higher education. As the refugees often need to earn money as soon as possible they do not have the time and the ressources to invest enough energy in learning the language up to the requested level.- A lot of refugees do not really know the European systems of education. They especially are not familiar with the higher vocational education because that often does not exist in their home countries. They often do not have an instutionalized higher vocational training - one either goes to university or works as an unskilled worker learning by doing. Proper guidance can sort out useful paths for career planning of the target group by focussing on higher vocational education. These paths may much better match their competences and needs as the offers at the university. - Good designed online-tools for guidance, competence checks and language training are really important and helpful. Also to have the chance to do parts of study programmes in certificated online-courses which may be done in English too.- It is very important to open space for migrants and refugees to show their competences even if it is outside the labour market. This is the main idea of the Silent University. Their people can teach, research and communicate in different languages , adressing different topics. This is very important for the development of self-esteem, motivation and social integration. It also stops the process of dequalification.All the partners and the cooperating organisations will continue working on the above mentioned issues in their daily work with the target groups and will spread the results in their regional political and educational networks. They also will try to devleop a further European project. Integrations takes and needs time, so all relevant organisations should not stop to support this important process by their means."
