The project’s overarching ambition is to cultivate a thriving transnational and European environment that fosters the exchange of best practices, pioneers innovative approaches, and develops cutting-edge tools for comprehensive migrant training from third countries. This ambitious vision is anchored in the following objectives:
1. Transnational Network for Active Participation: We envision forging a robust transnational network that spans local, regional, national, and European scales. This interconnected network will catalyze the growth and exchange of innovative practices that empower migrants to actively participate in European society, ultimately leading to informed citizenship.
2. Guiding Complex Social and Civic Skill Attainment: The project aims to meticulously develop guidelines that illuminate the pathways for diverse stakeholders committed to supporting migrants. These guidelines will serve as a compass, guiding individuals and groups towards acquiring intricate social and civic skills. Sensitivity to linguistic, cultural, and social nuances will be paramount, fostering their autonomy and integration as valued members of a democratic community.
3. Forging Paths to Democratic Enlightenment: We are dedicated to crafting tailored pathways that traverse the realm of democratic values, fundamental rights, and the essence, values, and history of the European Union. These paths will serve as beacons, illuminating the journey of migrants from third countries toward a profound understanding of European citizenship. This education will empower them to navigate the complexities of democratic participation and contribution.
4. Foundation for Future Civic Education: This project is not just a present effort; it lays the groundwork for future endeavors. We aspire to establish a solid foundation for upcoming initiatives, envisioning the creation of European civic education courses specifically designed for migrants. The operational model identified in the project’s final report will serve as a blueprint for these educational offerings.
In essence, the project aims to:
1. Weave a dynamic transnational network that fosters innovation, fuelling the active engagement of Ukrainian migrants and migrants within European society, thereby nurturing informed citizenship.
2. Craft comprehensive guidelines that channel support towards migrants, facilitating the cultivation of intricate social and civic skills while considering their unique linguistic, cultural, and social context.
3. Devise custom pathways that illuminate the democratic tapestry, acquainting migrants with values, rights, and the EU’s essence, enabling them to thrive as informed European citizens.
4. Set the cornerstone for future civic education initiatives, paving the way for European courses tailored for migrants, anchored in the operational model delineated in the project’s conclusive report.
