Virtual Reality for Migrants Social and Cultural Orientation and Inclusion
The VRIN project envisions to promote the effective integration of TCNs in local communities by providing intervention tools for training, as a means of making the process of acquaintance with the local context more interactive, interesting and attractive. The target groups will undertake a participative learning path for the development of their skills, competences and acquire new ones, with the final aim of a mutual cooperation for integration in society and the labour market.
The project challenge is to promote a two-way-integration process by developing a common online platform and an interactive guidebook that will apply to both target groups; TCNs and actor of TCNs. Therefore, this sector must increasingly be approached with a view of identifying both TCNs’ and TCNs actors’ needs and enhancing the development of digital skills towards TCNs’ adaptation as well as reinforcing a more dynamic and contributive integration of TCNs in the local societies, by overcoming obstacles towards a smoother access to substantial services.
Objectives
- To establish a pioneer two-way integration model through innovative targeted training to both actors involved in TCN integration and TCNs
- To help TCNs overcome obstacles towards a smoother access to substantial services like health care, labour market, vocational training, social security benefits, housing, financial procedures, lifelong learning.
- To enhance TCNs ability to access useful information which will help them ameliorate their everyday life and communication.
- To provide TCNs with the opportunity to develop targeted language skills addressing the every-day communication and tailored to their practical needs.
- To boost service providers and integration assistants’ capacity to deal with TCNs needs and different cultural background, thus boosting their intercultural skills.
- To prioritise the inclusion for diversity in all fields of education and training.
