IN-WORKER

One of the features that affect more and more the whole European Society is the progressive increase of immigration flows. Allocating immigrant workers out of the formal work system and undermining their skills and knowledge is leading to marginalisation of foreign communities, loss of their motivation and of the advantages these could bring to entities, to the economy and to the society at large. When not properly managed, the incorporation of immigrant workers to a job can put them in a position of vulnerability, because of: the impossibility of adapting themselves to the new working environment; the poor continuous training they have got along their active life in order to adapt themselves to the changes happened at the labour setting; the non-forecast of the appropriate training needs for these workers; the arising of misunderstandings and conflicts between national and foreign workers that creates problematic environments. Within this context, HR and training managers play a key role in companies, as they can act as precursors of the integration and adaptation of immigrant workers.

Lead partner Danmar Poland, Partners Germany, Czech republic, Estonia, Italy, Poland and UK

OUT-IN

OUT-IN intends to contribute directly, through a wide transfer activity, to the promotion of a lifelong learning offer aimed at providing to the operators of Schools and training organisations, competences and tools useful to benefit of communitarian resources to support transnational mobility programmes and the development of innovative pedagogical solutions.

Education and Training organisations, all over Europe, are ever more requested to assume working features and modalities typical of the open systems, that is, the ones capable of acting within a context characterised by various levels of reference - from the local to the European one. To be an act as an open system within this complex context, means “to know” and “to know how read” its evolution in progress, “to catch” the opportunities of development it offers and to activate a structured whole of functional relations (networks) with all different actors working in it (Institutions, enterprises, associations, etc).

Lead partner MCG , Rome . Partners Latvia , Greece, Italy and UK
