Step In! Building Inclusive Societies through Active Citizenship
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012,

Promoting active democratic citizenship and political participation among migrants is one of the declared objectives of the European Union’s integration policy. The overall aim is to develop an integrated education strategy to promote social and political participation among migrants.The project takes account of the fact that successful integration is not just a matter for the minority but also depends on the willingness of the majority society and its institutions to move forward. In line with the idea of an integrated education strategy, the target group of those who are to be educated can be divided into three groups: (1) migrants and their interest groups as primary target group; (2) teaching and non-teaching staff of educational establishments; and (3) staff of civil society organisations in the host country. Each partner in the consortium develops a target-group-specific educational model. It motivates the primary target group (migrants), as the model is consistently geared to the specific circumstances of their lives, and partnerships develop among stakeholders, for example as part of a module "mentoring programme". Consistent outreach strategies are intended to keep the threshold to educational opportunities as low as possible.The project also includes a Grundtvig-further training course involving all the teaching/learning modules developed and tested as part of the project. First, within the framework of the overall objective of promoting active citizenship among migrants, the course sets out the background and knowledge required to provide skills-oriented educational activities for migrants and for stakeholders in the majority society. Secondly, those involved in adult education learn to be aware of their own attitudes and cultural ties and to avoid unconscious discrimination (e.g."doing ethnicity").
