The aim of the project is to exchange experiences and good practices between the countries that have very diverse and different experiences of migrants, our aim is to develop models and tools of intercultural education (with a maximum of universal potential for use in a variety of national and linguistic environments of migrants), addressed to migrants from different countries and backgrounds, getting them familiar with the European values, European social norms, rules of the functioning of democratic state and civil society. The rapid influx of migrants from many countries in Europe evokes the need for accelerated and effective education in this field. Lack of such knowledge causes the loss of migrants, lack of ability to move in a new social environment and their behavior contrary to the accepted social norms, which in turn causes the hostility of the population of the country of residence for newcomers. This situation results in difficulties in social inclusion, in finding employment, causes a danger of exclusion and deep frustration. At the same time causes a lot of difficult situations for the host countries. Since the ethnic diversity of migrants is very high and many of them do not know enough language of the country in which they find themselves, or English, objective of the project is to develop an innovative universal model of education, allowing to reach different groups, irrespective of their nationality and language, and tools operating primarily video and non-verbal audio. Implementation of the project raises the qualifications of adult education staff in the partner countries, who will be able to familiarize themselves with proven good practices, and also will receive new educational tools. The project meets the needs of both migrants and the communities receiving them because it supports effective education, which accelerates the assimilation of migrants. The project should be implemented in international cooperation as a necessity of taking into account experiences and points of view of different countries, dealing with the various groups of migrants and having different policies towards them.

During the project we sought to develop a model and tools of intercultural education (of a maximum universality, applicable in different national and linguistic migrants). Targeting migrants from different countries and backgrounds, bringing them closer to European values, European social norms, the rules of functioning of the democratic state and civil society. Since the ethnic diversity of migrants is very large and many of them do not know enough about the language of the country they are in, or English, the project was to develop a universal education model that could reach different groups, regardless of their nationality and language, and appropriate tools. The project was designed to improve the qualifications of adult education staff in the partner countries, who were able to familiarize themselves with good practice and receive new educational tools.3 educational organizations from Poland, Spain and Italy, including 2 non-governmental organizations (from Gdańsk - an organization with an educational profile leading to various social groups including migrants, mainly from Ukraine and Poggiardo - a business-focused organization for young adults from different African countries), and Albunol's adult education center for adult education, including a large group of North African travelers, primarily Morocco. During the project (successively in all participating countries), 3 partner meetings took place (successively in all participating countries), exchanging experiences, acquainting themselves with the migration situation in the country and with educational practices, and working on a model of education and educational tools . The education model included the following modules: 1.Prepare educators and teachers 2.Welcome workshops for newcomers 3.Intensive learning of the host country language 4.Simultaneous with language education, cultural and practical education led by active metrics in pleasant forms 5.Selection, adaptation to the labor market in the host country - vocational education, professional activation by educational methods 6.Involve in social life. 7.Educate the community where immigrants live Each partner worked on educational tools in his country, working with a group of migrants in his city who participated in testing tools, assessing their suitability and effectiveness. During the meetings a discussion on the model of education was held and finally common principles and assumptions were established. For partners from Spain and Italy this is a collection of experience so far, something completely new in Poland. New educational tools for immigrants have been prepared - urban games, cartoon films and comic book elements. These tools are simple and varied because of the level of immersion in the immigrant's language and the time spent in the host country. Prepared and tested in Poland and Spain, may be subject to substantive and linguistic adjustment used in any other country.The adult education staff of the partner organizations have improved their skills in intercultural adult education, expanded their knowledge of the migration situation in each participating country, improved their skills by contributing to the development of education and learning tools, and deepened their professional experience and developed their creativity and ability to work international team. The organizations participating in the project have adopted new good practices, gained new educational tools, and benefited from improved qualification of personnel. The impact of the project on the immigrants involved was also favorable. Testing of educational tools was an educational experience for them - participants acquired new knowledge needed in new life. Participation in a project in which they actively participated, where they were asked for their opinion and had their comments taken into account, had a significant positive effect on their well-being in the host country - they felt equitable and respected. Migrant communities have acquired a new educational offer. Using it positively affects their understanding of the host country's situation and functioning properly under new conditions. Derivative of this is better relations with local host communities.
