Project Details

DEKOLLA

Short Description and Goal

Development of migrants’ knowledge of the local labor market, DEKOLLA, is an EU project within Erasmus + for a strategic partnership in adult education between actors in Sweden, Germany and Italy.

Detailed Description

Getting integrated in a new society can be a very long process if the receiving country doesn’t have a good structure to meet the needs of the newly arrived. Many immigrants, for different reasons, find it difficult to integrate in the labor market and/or in the society and the current refugee situation make that challenge even bigger. Substainable structures in different integration actions (as education and training) have to be set up in order to identify and reduce the barriers for participation. This can be possible  through the structuring of informal channels that can lead newly arrived people to learn more about the local labour market and the local business environment.
The project main focus will be on providing the informal educators new skills and competences to develop more effective ways through which engaging both the migrants and the local business community.  An easier and more accessible learning process is supposed to lead to a faster inclusion in the local economic context.
