INTEGRA – “FosterINg migranTs intEGRAtion with crowdfunding”
The members of the consortium are aware of the needs of target group, such as young migrants aged 20-30 with critical backgrounds. The partners acknowledged the lack of competences for the educators to transfer knowledge about the way to respond to the labor market needs. Aim of the project is to provide the target groups with the necessary skills and competences to fill their respective gaps, improving the educators’ skills in transferring particular competences through NFE methodologies.

PROJECT’S OBJECTIVES
- To increase competences and to improve skills with acquisition of knowledge related to the analysis of the market needs, tools to enter the labor market and a concrete methodology to fund social ideas, as crowd-funding.
- To improve competences in transferring knowledge through Non-Formal-Education methods, using for instance digital and interactive tools.
(These two objectives are related to the selected horizontal priority because through an up-skilling in the educational personnel, it is possible to develop strictly addressed contents that will facilitate the transfer of knowledge to the disadvantaged people, providing them with the necessary means to foster social inclusion. Moreover, OB01 and OB02 are linked with the selected vertical priority, because it will foster the creation of specific educational tools that provide the educators to deepen their knowledge on specific issues, as the tools to initiate social entrepreneurship)
- To enable young migrants with knowledge about the analysis of the labor market needs and opportunities, business plans and model.
To provide young people who aspire to become social entrepreneurs, with a concrete methodology through which they can have the possibility to fund their ideas, specifically through crowd-funding
