The main goal of the DIBS project is to promote the socio-economic inclusion of Migrants Adults Low Qualified (MALQs) in the reality of their host countries through innovative and practical entrepreneurial capacity-building programs and further ongoing support training. Primary Objective: To promote the socio-economic inclusion of MALQs in the reality of their host countries through innovative and practical entrepreneurial capacity-building programs and further support training. Specific goals: • Develop centers providing high-quality training for migrants, empowering them to achieve economic stability and social integration. • Create role models among migrant adults, inspiring their children and fostering a culture of lifelong learning in their communities. • Advocate for public-private partnerships to develop inclusive business schools in the EU. • Exemplify the EU's commitment to inclusive policies for migrants, showcasing effective integration. • Maintain a humble yet determined approach, striving for excellence to deliver tangible benefits to the migrant community. To create a lasting positive impact on the lives of MALQs, fostering their integration and contributing to a more inclusive and prosperous Europe.
One of the EU's most serious challenges is the socio-economic inclusion of Migrant Low Qualified Adults (MALQs). This issue is closely linked to unemployment. According to Eurostat, the EU unemployment rate was 5.9% in July 2023. It is worse in some consortium partner countries: 16.5% in Greece, 16.1% in Spain, and 9.9% in Italy. The situation is critical for MALQs: the EU-27 unemployment rate for people aged 20-64 was 12.8% for non-EU citizens in 2022, compared to 7.1% for those born in another EU Member State and 5.5% for the native-born population. Eurostat data shows that the EU migrant population is rapidly growing in number and diversity, making practical and inclusive education more crucial than ever. The Digital Inclusive Business School (DIBS) supports the EU and the Eramus+ policy to promote and include vulnerable migrants by developing a holistic inclusive business and support. This goal has subordinated and inspired the totality of the project’s outcomes. DIBS offers a long-term and lifelong solution that encourage the development of businesses enabling MALQs to integrate socio-economically, breaking exclusion barriers and ghettos, allowing them to be proud of their origin while enjoying full citizenship rights.
