'Gender, Citizenship and Migration - A Journey in Transition' is a cross-sectoral strategic partnership focusing on the issue of citizenship, migration and memory, providing a critical insight into the distinctive experiences of women migrants in a European context. This partnership is based on a key objective of the Erasmus+ programme which aims to promoting equality and inclusion by facilitating learners with disadvantaged backgrounds and lesser opportunities compared to their peers. In particular, the project supports the participation of women from ethnic minority communities and culturally diverse backgrounds including immigrants, refugees and descendants from immigrant or refugee families. The partnership also addresses the inclusion of participants who may experience social obstacles and discrimination because of gender, ethnicity or religion. The partnership aims to create a synergy of innovative and complementary pedagogical approaches and methodologies, thereby supporting the development of transversal competencies and creative thinking through a complex and valuable range of multi- and interdisciplinary approaches. Alongside this, the project will support the development of effective ICT skills. The partnership objectives are to: 1. Deliver a series of training events to develop knowledge, skills and competencies among adult and higher educators, youth workers, and migrant communities, in relation to the thematic concept of gender, citizenship and migration. 2. Develop effective ICT skills, re-skilling and up-skilling adult educators, higher education staff, youth workers, adult learners and young people. 3. Contribute to the acquisition of increased social capital, active citizenship and democratic engagement within migrant communities. 4. Promote intercultural dialogue and intercultural competencies. 5. Support the development of greater understanding and awareness regarding migrant experiences and particular needs, challenges and benefits in terms of education and training, relevant to service providers and policy makers. 6.
