Rationale:• West Midlands statistics show that while the worklessness rate for the general population 28%: For the Black/Black British ethnic group it is 44%. For those from the Pakistani/Bangladeshi group it is 57% • ‘Comparing the labour market experiences of refugees/ethnic minorities in the labour market’ presented findings on the prevalence of discrimination experienced. At least half of the refugees interviewed had experienced racism or discrimination whilst looking for work or in the workplace.•In Italy, over 300 cases of hate crime/violence have been reported in the last two years, mainly against the Roma people, Romanians and Africans. Human rights organisations and trade unions expressed serious concerns till the Italian government was called upon to answer accusations of xenophobia and discrimination against foreign workers, either legal or illegal. •Recent research done by the Swedish Confederation for Professional Employees (TCO) found that people with a foreign background have much lower chances of finding a job appropriate for their education. In 2007, there were a total of 3,536 hate crimes to the police, and Sweden has been criticized for increasing numbers of hate crimes, seldom resulting in criminal charges.Main Aims and Objectives:• To remove attitudinal and discriminatory barriers to employment for immigrants (particularly the newly arrived) and refugees • To produce interactive 3D scenarios to demonstrate and address the key internal and external attitudinal barriers to employment for this target group, allowing the target audience to overcome these issues by their own supported problem solving within these scenarios• To include stakeholders in producing the narratives for the scenarios to ensure that the real issues for the target group, which are creating the barriers to employment are addressed• To ensure that end user groups are included throughout each phase of the project. Consortium:Nottingham Trent University (UK) - coordinator; GHI (UK); Swedish Telepedagogic Knowledge Centre (STPKC); Province of Parma (IT).Results: A robust needs analysis report per partner country; User groups set up in the 3 countries to ensure full target user involvement A set of 4 3D interactive simulations to tackle the barriers to for the target group: A project website that will also host the products: A Trainers manual; A programme of valorisation activities and piloting and evaluation reports.
