Project description
Migrant and refugee children's socio-educational integration
The EU-funded IMMERSE project aims to generate and monitor data to develop recommendations on the integration of refugee and migrant children in Europe. A new dashboard of socio-educational indicators involving children and relevant stakeholders will be co-created, identifying key parameters that affect children’s integration. Innovative ICT solutions will allow data collection of 6‐18-year-old children in Belgium, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy and Spain. The data analysis will portray the national and Europe-wide reality for refugee and migrant children’s integration, leading to the development of national and European level policy papers with specific recommendations for fostering inclusive societies, targeting policymakers and educational institutions. Best practices of integration at the local level will be identified and promoted.
Objective
The IMMERSE project “Integration Mapping of refugee and Migrant Children in Schools and Other Experiential Environments in Europe” emerges at a time where Europe and its socio-educational system are facing a lot of pressure because the migration flows and the current refugee crisis. In this situation, refugee and migration children are the most vulnerable group and Europe is committed to provide them support and to promote more inclusive European societies. In this sense, IMMERSE aims to enhance the socio-educative inclusion of all refugee and migrant children through the generation of new data and policy recommendations on the integration of refugee and migrant children. An innovative and ICT supported solution has been proposed to carry out research activities in order to create a dashboard of socio-educational indicators that will allow to collect information to be analyzed and become practical policy recommendations.
IMMERSE aims to foster the empowerment of children and other relevant stakeholders that impact on their integration and successful transition to adulthood into host societies. IMMERSE follows a whole school approach and aims to implement co-creation methods to involve all the key actors in the achievement of the results.
