The New Start project, funded within the Erasmus+ programme, develops teaching and learning materials for migrants and refugees. The training material promotes the acquisition of European civil and political values such as freedom, tolerance and non-discrimination through education. With this, it aims to support the integration process of migrants and refugees throughout European countries.

The lessons and learning materials will cover objectives such as

• European culture
• European civil rights and duties
• European dream versus reality
• European workplace

All materials are based on the expertise of participating project partners from Germany, Italy, UK and Spain as well as on collected best practice examples from other European countries.

A handbook with teaching material downloadable and printable is meant to support teachers, trainers and those working in organisations supporting migrants and refugees in their work. It contains information about the units and different teaching techniques, tested in practice and prepared for direct using.

You also can find here our training materials for migrants and refugees , they can be used for self learning or in the classroom.

1. EMBEDDING AN ISOLATED TRAINING UNIT INTO A LANGUAGE COURSE

Sometimes it is interesting to approach one single issue with your target groups who are already attending a language or citizenship training course which you are currently involved in. In this case, our suggestion is to customise and embed one of the New Start training Units into your current course.

2. EMBEDDING ONE OR MORE MODULES INTO AN EXISTING TRAINING COURSE

Sometimes it is interesting to add a new module to your current migrants and refugees training course which might be in job searching, Life skills, employability training or skills recognition. In this case, our suggestion is to customise and embed the whole set of the New Start training Units in a Thematic area into your current course.

3. FOLLOW OUR SUGGESTED TRAINING PATHWAY

This training pathway has been designed for the use as a complete training course for a better integration in Europe of migrants and refugees.
