The goal of the project was to support local organizations that work to integrate immigrants into the host community and to increase the effectiveness of their activities. The specific objectives: 1. To increase the knowledge and skills of partner organizations - Learning about effective methods of migrant integration used in different countries and environments. - Sharing good practices between organizations with different experience and approaches to working with migrants. 2. Creating innovative educational tools - Development of the publication Different Ways of Integration, containing descriptions of the situation of migrants in partner countries, examples of good practices and recommendations for organizations working on integration. - Construction of an e-learning platform that will enable organizations and local communities to access educational materials that support the integration process. 3. Promoting interculturalism and social inclusion 4. Strengthening international cooperation The project aimed not only to increase the effectiveness of organizations in their local activities, but also to create lasting results in the form of tools and working methods that can be used in the future.
The idea was initiated by the PCKK Foundation, which partnered with the local immigrant community in 2021. We realized then that we had competence gaps in the area of interculturalism and international integration activities. We found organizations with much more experience than ours, Polish experience, and together we developed the idea of the project. All partners recognize the need to improve activities supporting immigrants in the process of integration into the local community. We believe that integration is a key element in building an open and tolerant society. We also believe that education plays a key role in these processes. The project addressed the following needs: Partner organizations: the development of competencies in the area of intercultural integration, the exchange of good practices, and the creation of innovative educational tools - the foundation for the long-term activities of the organization. Immigrants: knowledge of the language, culture and systems in the host country, enabling them to integrate more quickly and effectively into the community. Communities: building attitudes of respect, tolerance and involvement of local communities in activities that support immigrant integration.
