Learning for Female African Migrants’ Solidarity: Help-Desks for Female African Migrants in the Eastern Mediterranean Region - LeFAMSol
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013,

LeFAMSol is a curriculum development project for hard to reach target groups of adults, oriented towards cultural mediation and peer training. At its pilot phase, the project focuses on Female African Migrant Groups, including sex workers, aiming initially to create a pool of human resources that can operate gender/ethnically delineated "Self-Help Desks." Therefore, knowledge building and sharing is geared towards self-sustainability, capitalizing upon ethnic networking to achieve a multiplier effect. In focusing on this target group, the project elicits transnational challenges of the specific migrant group transiting from Turkey via Greece to Italy and, thereon, to other Schengen zone states. Thus the interrelation between national and international migration regimes is explored, exploring transversal themes, such as trafficking, and contextually bounded, such as racist violence. The objective is to address such challenges through LLL methodologies that are cost-effective and, thereby responsive to the socioeconomic context. LeFAMSol maybe described as a uniquely European knowledge cluster, combining practitioner's and activist experiences with formal academic expertise in pedagogy, anthropology, gender and migration studies. The program achieves pedagogical knowledge-transfer in cultural mediation from Italy and Switzerland to Greece and Turkey and, in turn "street-work" experience and outreach tactics from Greece to all partners. Initially the partners integrate their diverse networks and proceed to initiate contact with possible stake-holders in the curriculum. Social partners, including governance structures and civic organizations, are then fully engaged in a process of consultation, proceeding from open interviews to focus groups. This interaction is built in the curriculum, the evaluation and the exploitation/dissimination process, thereby instilling a sense of ownership to everyone engaged. This is also the key to LeFAMSol sustainability.
