Project Summary

An international comparative analysis of the integration process of the business integration of refugee’s trough business start-up has taken place during the project „From intention to implementation based of European know-how “.
5 organisations from EU-countries have been chosen, to carry out a Europe-wide comparison analysis. The project partners consist of people from European founding countries and countries which joined the EU recently. The geographical location includes the west, south and the north. The project members are not only from economically stable countries, but also from ones which are in an economic crisis. The project partners are from Germany, Italy, Bulgaria and Norway.
Modern methods of sociological investigation had been used, to realise the international comparative analysis.
Questionings, interviews, workshops and professional exchanges had taken place. A subject specific research had been operated for those purposes.
The following parameters were examined for the definition of the target groups: home country, age, education level, gender differences (from the view of refugees and the population) and the reason for business start-up. The exact overview of the question can be found in the attachment.
The topic of this project is the professional integration of migrants / refugees into the labour market, especially through business start-up, based on best practice examples of the European partner institution. The main feature of the project are the innovative inputs and realization ideas, which come out of the fact that the migrants and refugees can see the “new home” from a different point of view. In addition, there are the public and state institutions in the respective country, which help on the implementation path. Furthermore, we wanted to find out how the communication with the different structures works and what complications and solutions are created.
The data obtained through the surveys, forms the basis concept of the communication model “refugee – refugee group – host society – public and government institutions”.
It was confirmed that in the case of a nationwide / cross-regional survey, the data obtained should be used to create a communication model.
Therefore, a comprehensive / cross-regional survey will take place in a subsequent project and a communication model “refugee – refugee group – host society – public and state institutions” will be developed. This model helps to create a guide to professional integration through business start-ups and to answer the questions of what the process looks like in different countries, as well as what cultural differences are particularly supporting or obstructive.
