Supporting Migrants Integration Life Experience Skills

Many European programs already allowed exchanges of practices between organisations helping migrants. But all these projects all focused on a classical approach on teaching and learning language, institutional knowledge, job seeking….

Our approach is totally different.
It consists for the project stake holders to exchange and to develop animation and mediation practices, which allow adult migrants, and disadvantaged persons in general, to find in themselves (following a social constructivism process) methods, techniques and tools in aim to better live together with few means.
Therefore it is not an approach tending to just insert migrants in a society, but also an approach aiming to develop exchanges and to allow everyone to do better by cooking, «doing it yourself », repairing, gardening, building, using digital tools.

Our Expected Results
The publication of an online handbook for teachers and trainers (english and local languages) that will include the methods and activities which were shared during the project, the evaluation of their transfer by other partners and this guide will be developed by the partnership. The handbook aims at supplying a global pedagogical consideration and practical suggested activities.
