Active Citizenship in the New Homeland

We have applied for this project because we saw the need for more educational platforms and digital resources that could address both adult educators and refugess and asylum seekers. Moreover ou...

We wanted to achieve the promotion of active citizenship education and create a digital platfrom where adult educators NGO's , Public Educations Centers and Universities enjoy an educative environment where the learners and educators interact. They focus on defining common problems, offer solutions and find ways to increase eachother's potentials/ capabilities. The Implementation of this project provided us with the chance to compare the strategies, policies and practices for asylum seekers and refugees in partner countries. It makes possible to develop the knowledge, attitudes and digital skills of adult educators working with refugees and refugees on active citizenship. It also ensures that asylum seekers and refugees will be aware of their fundamental rights and obligations in the country they live . As an overarching goal, we would like ensure that asylum seekers and refugees will be active members of the society, they become more sensitive, solution-oriented and participatory regarding the problems of the city, region, country and world they live in.

1)ESW: Experience Sharing Workshops are realized with the participation of academicians, educational administrators, trainers, NGO representatives, asylum seekers and refugees. In these workshops, we compiled a multi-dimensional information, observation and experience from the field by bringing together different sectors (University, Adult Education Institution and NGOs), asylum seekers and refugees. We benefit from ESW content while designing the e-learning module by analyzing and reporting the data we collect at the workshop. 2)Desk Research: It is to conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis by researching policies, strategies and practices regarding asylum seekers and refugees both in the context of partner countries and globally in order to create ACT NEW HOME /E-learning module. 3) Five (5) TPM and one (1) LTT to develop the e-learning module "Active Citizenship for Asylum Seekers and Refugees". Transnational meetings allowed us to discuss and exchange views for the synthesis of the desk research and the data collected from Experience Sharing Workshops. While sharing the work we do in each TPM, we also had the opportunity to plan the work we will do until the next TPM. The TPMs allowed both the monitoring and evaluation of the work we carry out for the e-learning module, as well as financial controls and the follow-up of the dissemination plan. 4) Piloting and Testing process: For this activity, each partner selected a manager and a researcher / educator who has previously participated in the Experience Sharing Workshop according to the criteria determined above. They will carried out this activity with the participants of the previous Experience Sharing Workshop. 5)ACT NEW HOME E-learning Module: Four Elements (Greece)was responsible for the technical creation and activation of the E-learning module created as a result of the project activities on the web platform. They assigned assign 2 people who are qualified and determined according to the selection criteria for this activity. The e-learning module, which has been finalized, will be made available to everyone on the web platform by organizing Four Elements.

We created a new E-Learning Platform ACT NEW HOME as an interactive digital tool to empower asylum seekers, refugess and their educators: It includes five modules on Active Citizenship (Concepts, Basic Rights, Life-long Learning, Cultural Life, Business Life) It is a platfrom where both adult educators and migrant groups (asylum seekers and refugees) join courses in 8 languages Turkish English, Estonian, French, Arabic, Romanian, Greek and Porteguese). See:https://actnewhome-vle.eu/ ACT NEW HOME /E -Learning platfrom serve both educators and learners who have the chance to learn, discuss and evaluate their level of knowledge on active citizenship and obtain certificates of attendance. As future vision, we expect that this e-learning tool, will be included in the education programs and training plans of educational institutions (University, Adult Education Institution, NGOs). We foresee that that more asylum seekers and refugees will benefit from the e-learning module by sharing these materials with public and private organizations working with asylum seekers and refugees and NGOs. 2) One International Report and six (6) National Report ( Desk Research ) 3) Experience Sharing Workshops (ESW) Report 4) Website:https://activenewhome.com/ 5) EPALE article:https://epale.ec.europa.eu/en/blog/act-new-home-online-platform#email 6)Brochure, e-brochure, e-newsletter etc. created within the project
