Background

Itaka training decided to apply for REMI project after conducted a careful analysis of the needs and goal of the 13 consortium partners in the area of European cooperation and migration. The analysis was conducted looking at knowledge, skills and abilities of the staff, different approaches were used depending on the type of organization: from observation to assessment and interviews. From the analysis it emerged that main partners' need is to link up with trustful European organizations that work on different capacity in the migration sector in order to have a 360 degree view of the main issues related to migration and adopt an holistic approach that can truly help migrants during their landing in Italy and/or their resettlement in Europe.In the project the word migrants is used in its wide meaning including refugees, asylum seekers, economic and environmental migrants. From the analysis also emerged that partners' area of intervention and needs could be divided in 3 groups 1)women and unaccompanied minors 2)education and employability 3)architecture, migration, sustainable rural and urban development. Inclusion, climate change and mental health support were the main common horizontal priorities of the 3 groups.
