Abstract

In the context of global migration patterns, the issue of Adult Continuing Education for migrants and refugees has gained prominence as a critical avenue for empowerment and integration. The collaborative efforts of stakeholders serve to bridge gaps in access to education, acknowledging the unique challenges faced by adult migrants. Through needs assessments, co-design, and the provision of language and vocational training, partnerships cultivate responsive educational pathways that align with refugees’ aspirations for self-sufficiency and socio-economic integration. This paper explores the significance of stakeholder partnerships analyzing the EU funded project INTEgreat.

 

Costruire ponti: il ruolo delle stakeholder partnership nell’educazione continua degli adulti migranti e rifugiati.

Nel contesto dei modelli migratori globali, il tema dell’Educazione Continua degli Adulti per migranti e rifugiati ha acquisito importanza come via critica per l’emancipazione e l’integrazione. Gli sforzi collaborativi degli stakeholder servono a colmare le lacune nell’accesso all’istruzione, riconoscendo le sfide uniche affrontate dai migranti. Attraverso la valutazione dei bisogni, la co-progettazione e l’offerta di formazione linguistica e professionale, le partnership coltivano percorsi educativi rispondenti alle aspirazioni dei rifugiati all’autosufficienza e all’integrazione socioeconomica. Questo contributo esplora l’importanza delle partnership tra stakeholder analizzando il progetto INTEgreat, finanziato dall’UE.
