EQUITY – Equal Opportunities and Inclusion in Vocational Education and Training for Young Refugees and Migrants

Common tools for the education and employment of young immigrants.

The project “Equity” aims to help young migrants and refugees  integrate in the society. In this project, we address young refugees as well as young migrants who recently arrived in the different receiving countries and plan to spend their future life in a new society.

There is  a  great need for workers with practical professional skills in many European countries. So there are different attempts to enable the young refugees and migrants to make a successful transition from school to vocational training.  But although there exist a variety of measures to support and prepare the young people, it is still very difficult for the majority of them to achieve a rather smooth transition into the new societies respectively between school and work.

The target groups to be addressed by this project are teachers and other educational staff who are involved in educating and integrating young refugees with a focus on their successful start into the working life.

There are 3 intellectual Outputs to be developed:

1. A joint pedagogical strategy to improve the inclusion of refugees and migrants.

2. Curricular modules to implement this strategy.

3. A toolkit for teachers and learners.
