Activities
ConnACT will showcase transferable, re-usable and up-scalable good practices of adult education for migrants of all backgrounds. They will be presented in an ACT Toolkit which will be a practical, digital research tool incorporated in the mapping of existing integration programmes in MS with a specific focus on partner countries. The outcomes from the ACT Toolbox will be incorporated in the ACT Recommendations that can be adopted or adapted to existing integration programmes/initiatives.
MPG will develop the ACT Toolkit – a practical resource for integration practitioners across the EU.
The toolkit will bring together cutting-edge practices that are being planned, piloted (via the ACT Toolbox), or already implemented in Member States. These practices will be translated into a set of clear, step-by-step ACT Recommendations to support the transfer, implementation, and upscaling of effective integration measures.
The ACT Toolkit aims to strengthen the practical knowledge of national and local authorities, civil society organisations, and other stakeholders involved in integration. It will support the development and adaptation of integration programmes and promote collaborative learning opportunities to enhance skills, foster intercultural understanding, and build social cohesion.
The toolkit will also introduce innovative approaches to adult education, encouraging broader uptake and impact within integration strategies.
