In almost all European countries, social cohesion is damaged or even destroyed by polarizing, mostly right-wing and right-wing populist forces. In a society of diversity it is necessary to promote awareness of social cohesion with suitable initiatives and to recognize this as a value. Cognitive, emotional, social and political education is required to take up to face this challenge. In the project „Social cohesion in the context of migration: findings on the design of adult learning programmes (opportunities) covering the acceptance of diversity“ concepts, methods and ways by European partners will be identified and evaluated. Theory and practice to promote cohesion will be discussed. The concrete learning will be put into action by takes place via the visiting and getting to know each other and by the evaluation of good-practice examples. An essential part of all meetings is to analyse the question consists of the question concerning regarding a possible the transfer of acquired knowledge into their own field of context work. The accompanying documentation ensures the publication of the results (via the internet platform) and other possibilities .
In almost all European countries, social cohesion is being damaged or even destroyed by polarizing, mostly right-wing and right-wing populist forces. In a society of diversity, it is necessary to promote an awareness of social cohesion through suitable initiatives and to recognize it as a value. Cognitive, emotional, social and political education is challenged to take up this challenge. In the project "Social cohesion in the context of migration: insights for the conception of adult education programs for diversity acceptance in social work" approaches, methods and ways of European partners were learned and evaluated. Theory and practice of promoting cohesion were discussed. Concrete learning took place through visiting, getting to know and evaluating good-practice examples. A component of all meetings was the question of transfer to one's own context.... A total of 56 professionals (social pedagogues, certified pedagogues; managers, volunteers) participated in the face-to-face meetings. The group of professionals participating in the face-to-face meetings remained nearly constant throughout the entire duration of the learning partnership. In addition, about 50 "input givers" and affected persons/participants in measures took part in the five meetings. These were very helpful for the scientific classification and during the learning site changes to practical good-practice examples, especially to experience the impact of community education approaches in their practical effect. The project was able to successfully include good-practice projects of all partner organizations and thus, in addition to the scientific inputs and discussions, to present the views and experiences of European partners in a supportive way in order to learn from and with each other. The intended goals on a theoretical and practical level were fully achieved. Theoretical approaches and practical ways were learned and impulses for practice in the own context were given. Developed collegial friendships among participating persons: cause further networking and thus it is possible to receive mutual advice and concrete help in factual questions at any time. The European dimension: could be taken more into consideration: (Pre-) judgments were reduced: The idea of Europe was again strengthened. The fundamental importance of dialog among each other was confirmed in many ways in the project work.
