Background

The aim of the learning partnership was the exchange of experiences between teachers and disseminators in different European organisations for further education or organisations that work with migrants. The thematic main emphasis was put on the access of migrants to existing education programs in the respective organisations or countries.
The exchange of experience was taking place by means of mutual meetings of teachers and persons responsible in the field of education and migration and by means of new technologies.
The participants discussed about specific subjects that are fixed in the run-up.

Realisation

Important points of the meetings were the discussions of the involved partners on questions how the continuing education organizations reach migrants or how migrants can be motivated for the continued education. In addition different organizations were visited on the spot, whose work busies itself with migrants and continued education. In all visits best practice-examples and ideas were gathered and given. During the meetings discussions on the areas "racism in the development working", "intercultural development", and antidiscrimination "and" migrant friendly continued education were carried out. There were ideas to this also through visits to other organisations in the respective countries. These discussions enable the development of new working extensions in the mentioned areas. These discussions enable the development of new working extensions in the mentioned areas.
Regional cooperation partners (continued education organisations, national or non-governmental organizations) were visited and included into the discussion. The project meetings enabled the involved partners also to an acquaintance with different national cultural facts as well as about the respective backgrounds and exogenous factors for the development working on the spot.
