The main achievement of this project was to raise awareness, and create knowledge, training and collaborative tools for farmers and migrant workers in the agricultural sector, as primary target groups, to manage multicultural teams and ensure a labour and social integration in farms where codes of conduct based on diversity, equality and respect are followed to guarantee the rights of all workers. The creation of a web platform including a training and a collaborative work environment can be the key project achievement, starting from a comparison of migrants' conditions within different countries and passing to analysis of case studies, a 3-Module course focused on main issues of multicultural teams management with the development of the dual training material (workers and employers) and the construction of the MILIMAT training and collaboration platform. The multiplier events, one of them international, held in Perugia, Italy, and the piloting tests, have demonstrated the capacity building based on the interest of primary target groups and involvement of public and private organizations, such as municipalities, farmers' and migrants' associations, NGOs active with migrants, trade unions, experts and professionals.
The countries of southern EU -France, Spain, Italy and Greece- are characterised for being migrants' receiving countries from the Mediterranean Sea, but the recent past political destabilization and wars have generated flows of migrants also with involvement of Eastern and Central Europe countries, such as Austria. Although migrations to Europe settle preferably in urban areas, a large number of people from third countries have also settled in rural and agricultural areas. These countries are facing therefore strong migratory flows, whilst most of migrants find themselves in a situation of extreme vulnerability and needs. On the other side the agriculture scetor has a structural lack of workers, mostly for seasonal and partly for permanent works. The combined needs from farmers and migrants have been addressed by the project focusing on training of multicultural teams, to create an integration cultural and vocational environment, and matching work offer and demand, with an open source training and collaborative platform, under an ethic conduct code tackling the violation of labour dignity and social rights, and favouring hosting and work in the rural communities, also involving public and private organizations and stakeholders.
