The main objective was to promote inclusion and integration on disadvantage target groups (E.g. migrant and refugees and Neets) by supporting professionals that work in organizations that have this supportive role. We did it by creating high-quality learning opportunities on solution focused Psychology approach, that will improve the competences of adult educators on using these tools to better work as a team and to better and more effectively promote inclusion and integration.
To solve or to contribute to the solution of problems using the Psychological science is at the very core mission of the Applicant organization, Empoderar and of their founders. In this project, we are specifically targeting the challenges of inclusion and integration in society. Organizations that work towards integration or integration seldom have enough budget to have high-quality learning opportunities in these field, and Solution focused training is as effective and useful as it is very expensive. We tackled these hurdles by mounting a partnership with a top-tier organization, The Helsinki Brief Therapy Institute (LTI) on using and teaching solution focus techniques. This institution counts with the world renowned trainer of solution-focused psychology and an active innovator of solution-focused methods, that as written many books about it, Ben Furman, that with the talented Tapani Ahola funded this organization. With that we addressed the needs of the organizations that promote integration and inclusion, their staff and their beneficiaries. It also answered to our need of better reply to these needs, at the same time that improve our staff capability on these fields.
