What is the specific problem?

Cities and regions are facing key challenges in ensuring the rights of migrant children and their early and comprehensive integration, providing them with safe accommodation, access to care, education and necessary language and vocational training, as well as health services. The provision of sufficient support for vulnerable groups such as unaccompanied minors or minors with special needs is particularly crucial, as well as addressing high drop-out rates of members of the student population with a migration background.  

Education and training have a critical role in fostering inclusive societies, notably in schools and early childhood education that are key to integrating migrant children and their families. To prevent education dropout and ensure successful integration, local actors must collaborate to create inclusive learning environments. 

What is the goal of this action?

The Action aims to address teaching methodologies to promote inclusion and reduce school dropout. The main activity being considered by the Action group members is to develop a selection of good practice examples for inclusion in education, with a particular focus on children and young people and their inclusive care, education and training, including effective language learning and vocational guidance, aimed at providing a healthy psycho-social development and professional orientation that improves their employment opportunities in the future.
