Objective
Vocational training initiatives aimed at low-skilled and long-term unemployed people are faced with cultural barriers as they are caught between 'marginalisation cultures' (those of their trainees) and 'main-stream cultures' (those of the market into which they wish to integrate the trainees). It is the main assumption of the project that there is a current lack of understanding of the cultural interplay at stake and that an understanding in those terms rather than in terms of attributes of marginalised people has important potential implications for policy making and for training practitioners.
The project aims at assessing and deepening the understanding of how institutionally supported cultures (i.e. supported by the training operators) can help bridge the gap between marginalisation cultures and main-stream cultures. Particular attention will be paid to the notions of exclusion, responsibility, motivation, self-help, opportunities and life chances. The partners will undertake literature reviews with theoretical and practical outcomes, intensive ethnographies, and will ensure focused as well as wider dissemination through the networking with decision makers, academics and practitioners, publication of reports and journal articles, and the organisation of a final seminar-conference.
Impact
The major impacts are expected in terms of enhancing understanding, increasing knowledge and informing policy and practice.
