Education of adults and professional integration of migrants and national minorities

The integration of migrants and refugees is a long process and consists of a lot of parameters. It is widely acknowledged that the first step for the integration of migrants and refugees is the learning of the language of the receiving society. After that, other important information that the refugees and migrants must get are the institutional framework in the receiving country and the responsibilities of national and local authorities, the integration policy measures, the civic orientation measures, the labor market, the access in vocational training, etc.

However, it should be noted that the intercultural understandings among the receiving and migrants’’ populations are also significant for the process of integration to be done smoothly.

The cultural training provides to the migrants and refugees a more comprehensive knowledge of each host country culture and includes current popular culture, sub-cultures within countries as well as a history of the main cultural artifacts, customs and traditions of the country, lifestyle, gestures, art, etc

The goal of this activity is to understand varied vulnerable adult populations, be familiar with the current national -regional conversations and issues related to access to education and to provide input and feedback on adult education and concerns for vulnerable populations in adult education.
