The Learning Network is intended to give a concrete input to the design of employment strategies, including the future targeting of ESF support, with the focus on increasing the participation of migrants and ethnic minorities. The network, consisting of 12 partners from 7 member states, will apply a peer review process between partners in two rounds during 2010 and 2011.
The review will concentrate on three thematic priorities, namely:
///
Assessment and Validation: Valuing Migrant Competences
///
Fostering Anti-discrimination Skills as a Professional Approach
///
Integrated Territorial Approaches
The network aims at developing a general model/methodology for identifying good practice in delivering programmes, which can also be transferable to other themes and funding programmes. This Network`s central aim is diagnostic: to find out what works, what doesn’t work, and why. The action started April 2009 and will be running till end of March 2012.
