Project Summary

“European response in migration and integration” was an inclusive and participatory project that aimed in strengthening the capacities of Georgian youth workers and NGOs in work and integration of migrants. The project builded strong relationship between organizations in Europe and Georgia. It enhanced cooperation and exchange of good practices and developed skills and competences in the field of policy development. This was done with good balance of activities in area of capacity building and mobility activities that had aim to foster non-formal learning of participants like trainings, study visits and job shadowing’s. Today there is no European state that is not affected by migration. Georgia is not excluded as there is an increase of immigration to Georgia from India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Iran, China, Egypt etc. As Georgia is economically enhancing, the number of immigrants is growing for more than 300%. Organizations and institutions in Georgia do not have knowledge and skills to work with immigration and this is why this project was important to develop the capacities of the Georgian organization. We have trained the youth workers from Georgia on the causes, opportunities and consequences of migration and providing support for their empowerment, business startup, educational and work inclusion in the country and raising their employability in general. Youth workers from Georgia have been involve on a training for ICL as part of the work with migrants and a guide on this topic was developed with best examples in state and private run institutions and their work with integration of migrants in the German society. The trainees from partner organizations got detailed information about start up, e-business and other possibilities offered for inclusion of migrants in business and economy and as well their integration in education. After the trainings and workshops, we had a job-shadowing of Georgian youth workers. They have been 4 job shadowing’s. – Sofia on usage of ICT tools in youth work. – Skopje in project management and policy development. – Madrid on Certification of migrant workers and certification of modular courses for economic integration of migrants. – Narva on inclusion of non-native speakers in education in Estonia. We had 3 events in Georgia in which we talked about policy development and we shared knowledge on the topic and discus possible national challenges and changes. Having different European organization from other site with experience in work with migrants, and Georgians who are building their capacities , showed as very important in the process of exchange of experiences and best practices. In area of methodology used, we had a teaching methodology with a mixture of theoretical content and practical exercises with mobility activities. Learning have been based on experience, reflection and group work.
