Guidelines - Qualification for Minor Migrants Education and Learning Open access – Online Teacher-training (QUAMMELOT Erasmus+ Project)

Abstract

Since 2015, the number of refugees and migrants seeking asylum in Europe has increased (EuroStat, Asylum statistics). This development poses new challenges and opportunities for European member states on administrative and practical levels such as housing capacities, asylum procedures, health care issues, job opportunities and schooling. The QuaMMELOT project (Qualification for Minor Migrants Education and Learning Open access – Online Teacher-training) takes its point of departure in the increasing number of newly arrived migrants and unaccompanied minors and the challenges it poses at the school level. The QuaMMELOT project especially aims to provide a solution on how to include migrants and unaccompanied minors in upper secondary classes. It does so by developing inclusive learning materials and tools that have learning potentials for both newly arrived migrant students and native students. The QuaMMELOT project is funded by EU programme Erasmus +, and has been implemented from May 2018 to August 2020. The partnership consists of organisations, departments and universities working with education from respectively Italy, Spain, Greece and Denmark. Three South European countries that are the first receivers of refugees and migrants crossing the Mediterranean Sea and one North European country that has been one of the destination countries for refugees and migrants.
