ISEM - Integration and Sociolisation of Ethnic Minorities is a three years project in intercultural education which aims at developing strategies to improve the quality of education available to socio-cultural minority groups and developing measures in the field of socio-educational and socio-occupational integration.
The socio-educational approach in the project aims at investigating and enhancing motivation measures towards active citizenship through the concept of intercultural counselling which aims at providing new citizens with the tools required for social competence and multi-ethnic knowledge. External participation on a networking basis with social partners, parents organisations and mediators will be used as a means of intensifying adult participation and finding social cohesion and cost efficiency with social policies.
The socio-occupational approach in the project aims at establishing networks of companies and educational institutions for the creation of apprenticeship training places as means of recognition of "Learning by doing" for those who are not able to cope with the requirements of formal education.
The target groups in the project are all the minority groups as well as the majority societies.
The project duration is 3 years during which the patners will exchange experiences, write reports, suggest new initiatives and co-operate with each other for the implementation of holistic, coherent and cost efficient measures in the field of integration.
The final product expected is a booklet of guidelines of good practice and the outcomes will hopefully respect social cohesion at local, regional and national levels; promote a more tolerant attitutde towards multi-culturalism and enhance the prospects of participation instead of exclusion.
