InclusiON Guide. (Best practices in Educational leisure time as a space for social inclusion of migrants and refugees)

Abstract

The EU has to face new models and paradigms of intervention. The so-called crisis of the
refugees and the situation of migrants and asylum seekers need a response from those
agents who are committed to social cohesion.
In this sense, education in leisure time is a tool and a scenario for social inclusion and
development of values, which are essential for a fruitful integration of these groups.
In this project we propose to create innovative resources and train stakeholders working
in this field to achieve the competencies and skills that allow implementing protocols of
intervention for the inclusion of these groups.
Inclusi-ON is a project aimed at promoting education, training and inclusive youth, testing
the possibilities offered by non-formal education in the creation of devices of social
inclusion, giving rise to new training programs, methodologies and to a new discourse on
the subject as a whole.
The objectives of the project are:
- To promote the field of educational leisure time as a space for social inclusion.
- To train youth leaders and young people to carry put initiatives to incorporate
competencies, values, capacity and methodologies that promote social inclusion
through educational leisure time.
- To adapt youth and education programs to new challenges and, in particular, to
work with migrants and refugees.
- To map good practices, methodologies, and training activities to promote these
processes of inclusion.
To reach this goal, we carried out:
a) 3 Local seminars in every each country to diagnose needs and challenges and
work locally what has been shared at an European level during the transnational
meetings between the partner.
b) 3 transnational meeting:
- To rank these needs (Bilbao).
- To elaborate a “best practices” guide that pick up the reflection process
carried out during the project (Bratislava)
- To elaborate the guide (Lisbon).
c) Training to incorporate skills and competencies in non-formal education (Napoly).
