EPALE focus: Migrant education

EPALE's thematic focus for May is on migrant education
Adult learning is an essential part of the integration of migrants and refugees. It is often the first step towards becoming part of a new country, culture and community. Helping migrants speak the local language and acquire the necessary skills for their new careers is vital for their entry into the job market. Adult learning can also help equip locals with intercultural awareness and competences, easing the integration process for everyone involved.
Here at EPALE we believe that adult learning can not only help migrants to adapt to their new environment, but it can also be a solution to religious and cultural hatred. Check out EPALE’s thematic page for migrant education where the community and the national teams have gathered interesting articles, useful resources and case studies on the topic (content varies based on your language preference). Visit EPALE regularly for new content in May!
We would like to invite you to join EPALE’s live discussion on the role and challenges of adult learning in helping migrants to integrate in their host country, and how it can foster tolerance and cultural understanding. The discussion will be in English and will take place on this page on 31 May 2018. It will be moderated by EPALE Thematic Coordinator Gina Ebner. We hope to see you there! |

Nespēju spriests par citiem
Personīgi šai integrācija varētu arī būt pretsitiens no pašu imigrantu puses, tikai dēļ tā, ka viņi var arī vēl cerēt atgriezties dzimtenē, līdz ar to varētu būt šāda veida pretgrūdiens, kā jebkurā kulturšoka situācijā.
Savā skolā vēl neemu redzējis kādu no šiem skolniekiem. Kad viņi parādīsies mūsu standarta skolās, tad varēsim sākt runāt par integrāciju

Accoglienza migranti in Sicilia e Percorsi d'istruzione
UNA DELLE MAGGIORI SFIDE PER UN PAESE CHE ACCOGLIE E' CERTAMENTE QUELLA DI GARANTIRE AI MIGRANTI PERCORSI D'ALFABETIZZAZIONE E D'ISTRUZIONE CHE TENGANO CONTO DEL LORO LIVELLO DI PREPARAZIONE INIZIALE E DELLE LORO CULTURE D'ORIGINE PER MIGLIORARE PER FACILITARE IL LORO PROCESSO D'INTEGRAZIONE. PENSO, ALLA LUCE DELLA MIA ESPERIENZA DA PSICOLOGA ED EDUCATRICE, CHE L'ITALIA ABBIA ESIGENZA DI STRUTTURARE STRUMENTI E CORSI CHE TENGANO MAGGIORMENTE IN CONSIDERAZIONE LE DUE COMPONENTI SOGGETTIVA E CULTURALE NELL'AMBITO DI PERCORSI INDIVIDUALIZZATI DI APPRENDIMENTO.

Vai vajag?
Manuprāt
izvirzīta problēma ir aktuāla Eiropā, bet nav tik aktuāla Latvijā. Protams, var
spriest par to vai vajag vispār tērēt laiku un naudas iebraucēju un bēgļu
integrēšanai, vai ir tam jēga? Vai tie cilvēki paliks Latvijā ilgu laiku? Vai
tie ir tikai studenti, viesstrādnieki, kuriem pat nevajag kļūt par Latvijas kultūras un sabiedrības locekli.
Dažiem iebraucējiem tas būs aktuāli un lietderīgi, ja tie paliks uz ilgu laiku,
bet tik un tā galvenais ir valoda. Kad cilvēks zinās „jaunas valsts” valodu tad
cilvēkam pašam būs vieglāk integrēties jaunajā sabiedrībā, tāpēc, manuprāt,
jāliek akcents tieši uz valodu.

Sokkal befogadóbb a közösség
Sokkal befogadóbb a közösség is akkor, ha látják a hajlandóságot az aktuális kultúra megismerésére. Az általam ismert migránsok mindegyike motivált ebben, és itt Magyarországon képzeli el jövőjét, s hajlandóak a nyelvet is megtanulni.

Visnotaļ neviennozīmīgs
Visnotaļ neviennozīmīgs jautājums. Ko sevī ietver jēdziens "iebraucēji"? Bēgļi, patvēruma meklētāji, remigranti - ir saprotams. Vai ar "iebraucējiem" šeit ir jāsaprot viesstrādnieki, ārvalstu studenti? Ārvalstu studenti a priori Latvijā ir, lai iegūtu izglītību. Viesstrādnieki - lai nopelnītu.
Pārdomām: starptautisks loģistikas uzņēmums, izsmēlis Latvijas darbaspēka tirgu, ieved viesstrādniekus no Ukrainas. Darbs maiņās, fiziski smags. Latviešu valoda nav nepieciešama. Darba līgums - gan latviešu, gan krievu valodā. Prece tiek komplektēta ar plaukstas skaneriem, kas nolasa svītru kodus. Pēc maiņas strādnieki tiek aizvesti uz mītnes vietu ārpus Rīgas, kur divistabu dzīvoklī uz maiņām mitinās vairāki desmiti cilvēku. Pēc pirmās algas, viesstrādnieki vīlušies atstāj Latviju uz neatgriešanos. Protams, ir eksperta līmeņa iebraucēji, kuri strādā IT uzņēmumos. Bet tas jau ir cits stāsts. Iebraucēju bērnus mēs redzam skolās. Lauku skolām, iespējams, vairāk nākas uzņemt remigrantu bērnus. Toties Rīgas skolās vienā klasē mēdz būt 1-2 iebraucēju bērni. Veiksmīgi, ja bērns uzsāk mācības 1.klasē. Cits stāsts - ja tā ir 3. vai vēlāka klase, jo skolās nav vienotas atbalsta sistēmas. Katrs pedagogs strādā pēc savas sapratnes un iespējām.
Es nebūt neesmu pret iebraucēju integrēšanu un izglītošanu. Nav tikai skaidrs - kas ir mērķauditorija. Un kāda ir viņu motivācija būšanai Latvijā.

Individual and self-learning
Indivduals, and in particular migrants to any new country, are likely to benefit from personal development and career management skills. In today's digital economy S.O.L.E (Self Organised Learning Environment) is becoming very important as user-friendly mobile learning devices become abundant.
To integrate migrants and refugees in EU a S.O.L.E strategy within the #migranteducation concept would go a long way to enhancing and strengthening the EU. We believe the 3Es (as practised by us at ELN) to EMBRACE diversity, ENHANCE knowledge, EMPOWER people will be crucial in any integration policy. Some of our projects: ACUMEN, GoMobile, VINA are in that direction to develop #migranteducation and provide useful resources.

MY COMMENTS A ND SUGGESTIONS REGARDING ,CULTURAL COMPONENTS IN
Though my country, Cyprus, is a small country because of its geographical position a lot of migrants are here and are getting benefits from cultural and educational programmes for adults co-funded by the asylum-migration and integration fund and the Republic of Cyprus.
In all towns, municipalities and many villages, there are special courses for languages, very important for communication as well as Cyprus customs, history, music, dancing and guided tours are organised so migrants could find out useful information habits and ideas regarding our country.
On the occasion of the day of EUROPE, mothers day, and children's day, different groups from different countries are performing songs, dances theatre performances as well as different sports and activities, so people locals and migrants are having the opportunity to participate and get together and know each other.
Of course due to political, financial, luck of finding good jobs, housing and health problems missing of personal documents like identity cards and passports all these are pitfalls that might raise xenophobia, but adults education is helping to solve problems
There are always chances for progress, though there are unexpected factors like desperate people, ill people, pregnant women and families, or children who suddenly appear with small boats at midnight and our government authorities together with local people and voluntaries trying to rescue their lives
For all these unexpected arrivals though we can understand their problems as we have our own refuges for the last 44 years since the Turkish invasion 1974 , is very difficult to solve all their problems .people who are getting priority for some services given ,might be feeling the disappointment of the locals who are still facing financial and other problems .
Even though we can have writing questioners , addressed in different languages which could be given to to migrants in order to give them the chance to express their selves ,explaining the reson they are in our country ,,their expectations,,their knowledge ,experience and skills ,their age, helth or other problems they are facing ,advising of the programmes we offer and asking for their suggestions, as people are coming here due to war, or financial problems in their countries, if we have all the aboveinformation we could pa y attention to their tasks their hopes and qualifications and help them as much as we can to leave a better lif.
Is a very difficult job as migrants have different religious and educational and cultural levels. But we have to keep in mind that locals have their own struggle for leaving like financial, health and labour problems and they expect migrants to respect our laws religion and culture and that there are behaviours from some migrants which could not be accepted.
Even after getting the questioners back, wherever is possible to have personal interviews in order to arrange different adults educational groups that could be very helpful. The earlier the groups could be settled, migrants lives are going to be upgraded and the communication with local society will be better.
People are happier, if they feel free and useful and they can use their knowledge to have a better life, with the interviews we can understand their needs their feelings, and their targets from their point of view and they could feel more comfortable ,i.e if somebody came in order to go to another country i.e to leave in Italy (when and where this is possible0, there is no need to learn the Greek language, but the Italian instead. or if somebody is a doctor he could be helped to find out where and how he could be employed, if we have migrants with knowledge of languages, his knowledge might be useful within his community.
of course, there are different ways and suggestions based on mutual respect and understanding.
through my experience all these years by communicating through tourism with different cultures, the better you know a person and its culture is easier to understand and help.
we all wish and the whole Europe should help towards the task of peace ,so we can all help migrants to get back home where they belong and create their own life by having all means they need for progress and happiness, as we all know that there is no place like home and adults education is helping towards making people more capable to return to their countries and leave a happy life as a continuation of their civilization.

Piekrītu, ka ne katrs
Piekrītu, ka ne katrs iebraucējs ir piespiedu kārtā jāizglīto. Iebraucēji šeit nonākuši ar notiektu mērķi, tāpēc, manuprāt šī nav tā problēma kura šobrīd ir aktuālākā. Tie kuriem tas būs vajadzīgs arī bez īpaša atbalsta atradīs iespēju apgūs valsts valodu, ja ne- nepiespiedīs!(Indiešu pavāram Gan-bei, kurš strādā 12 stundas dienā un 7 dienas nedēļā tāpat nebūs laika mācīties.) Mani vairāk satrauc tie iebraucēji, kas šeit bezmērķīgi iekīda pirms pārdesmit gadiem un vēljoprojām nav sapratuši, kuras valsts pilsoņi viņi ir....

ReGap - Reducing the Educational Gap for migrants and refugees
The ReGap project aims to extend high quality, culturally sensitive open access e-learning resources to adult migrants and refugees of both genders in EU countries. Building on findings from the USA and our Erasmus+ project (Advenus) we know that reducing the education gap for migrants and refugees in European countries will secure employment and social belonging opportunities.
The group we are intending to reach, is not in any way uniform. It has proven difficult to reach all. Which is why we are suggesting making some changes regarding teaching methods. This requires on-line learning activities that are culturally and gender sensitive and support in-person learning activities in the context of each European country. The ReGap project will continue to use online- learning as a basis. This will be uniform for all European countries. However, there are differences within Europe, which we need to address. In-learning in the individual countries, with information specific for the country they are staying, will do this. This will make the project far-reaching and the information will still be accurate and useful.
We also know that a significant barrier to engagement in on-line learning is that on-line resources are not deemed relevant and fail to engage with the learners needs for knowledge about employment, health, social security, schooling and justice in the new country. To counteract this barrier, we suggest implementing the findings from a recent Stanford study. Research has demonstrated that social identity threat can impair a person’s working memory and academic performance. They managed to apply activities removing the social-identity threat, a fear of being seen as less competent because of social identity, leading to participants not completing MOOCS. This was achieved by creating a sense of belonging, with an online activity at the beginning of the course. The results being highly successful. We wish to include their activities, and in addition have online-groups for discussion and participation at certain times to even increase the sense of belonging. The ReGap project will develop on-line learning activities that enhance the contextual knowledge of migrants and refugees across key topics and their sense of social belonging.
The ReGap project is a follow-up of the LIBE project, and the Advenus project.
