Which are the key needs of the migrant population in <\/strong>order to become independent and active citizens? How can we enable professionals<\/strong> working with migrants to empower their beneficiaries and support them in their journey to autonomy<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From September 2020, the Citizen of the World project<\/strong> sets out to find solutions to these questions. The project mainly aims at strengthening professionals<\/strong> who work with migrants at risk of social exclusion through more tailored educational offers in Swede, Iceland, the Czech Republic and Italy<\/strong>. These will be based on the real needs<\/strong> of both, migrants and professionals working in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project\u2019s kick-off meeting<\/strong> has been held online, due to the Covid-19 restrictions, the 22nd<\/sup> and 23rd<\/sup> of October, bringing together the whole consortium in order to discuss the first steps of the project, namely the field research<\/strong> on professionals and migrants\u2019 real needs, which will be implemented at the end of 2020 and beginning of 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the results from the initial research, collected and analyzed in the Citizen of the World State of the Art Report on migrants\u2019 real needs<\/strong>, partners will afterwards work on the creation of contents for the International Handbook <\/strong>whose main objective is to provide detailed information and educational material to strengthen and increase those skills that professionals need in order to better support migrants in their personal journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a further step, the partnership will transfer these contents into an interactive e-learning platform, disseminating the results and making them broadly available to everybody who is interested in the topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
