Erasmus Project: Inclusion in Times of Exclusion 2024-26
From September 2024 to December 2026, AEF Bonn will take on the role of coordinating institution for the ERASMUS Plus project ‘Inclusion in times of exclusion’, which will be carried out in close cooperation with partners from Hungary, Italy, Romania and Spain.
The partner organisations want to set a positive example of participatory inclusion work with a signalling effect for other organisations, EU policy and all democratic self-organisations of migrants and other socially disadvantaged groups. The aim is to empower socially disadvantaged parents, such as migrants, refugees and Roma, to organise themselves, to participate in society and to stand up for the interests and educational success of their children.
Activities: Implementation and further development of a transnational empowerment methodology for socio-educational work with socially disadvantaged parents to promote children's educational opportunities, strengthen the self-organisation and social participation of migrants, refugees and Roma. Exchange of experiences and good practice, training of multipliers, development of educational material and documentation of exclusion factors for political discussion in the EU.
What is to be achieved: Strengthening and networking of partner organisations and promotion of their inclusion work through European know-how transfer in the field of inclusive parental work for the educational success of children, prevention of early school leaving, development of educational material, videos and podcasts. Implementation of participatory parental work through multiplier training, recommendations for action for national and European inclusion policies, development of self-organisations of socially disadvantaged groups.
Six partner organisations from five European countries (Germany, Spain, Hungary, Romania and Italy) were selected for their experience, scientific background, expertise in promoting specific target groups or complementary approaches. The results of this project can be found on this website under ‘Publications’.
