Description

The project aims to address the linguistic and cultural barriers faced by children with a migrant background in accessing the opportunities offered by the educational systems of their hosting communities. The project focuses on disadvantaged students who have just arrived in a hosting country and need to adapt in a new language environment, culture and education system.

 

Welcome! foresees teaching the local languages to migrant children in an innovative and engaging way, and by bringing language and culture variety to local schools will motivate local kids to learn languages and getting to know other cultures. Welcome! supports a holistic approach to integration and adaptation of migrant kids by fostering collaboration among all actors within schools, as well as with families and other external stakeholders.
