Integration project MILE on the home straight

At the end of November, the project MILE- Migrants Integration in the Labour market in Europe, funded by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund of the European Union (AMIF), will be completed. die Berater® stepped in as a new Austrian partner in the transnational project about a year ago.

The project team in the Innsbruck branch of die Berater® took on the task of developing and implementing a programme for 130 migrants that included skills assessment, soft skills training, digital literacy training, job application training and internship placement, working closely with regional integration stakeholders and businesses. Not an easy undertaking in times of pandemic and lockdowns and only a short time window due to the project’s subsequent entry.

In the end, these requirements were successfully mastered, not least due to the intensive cooperation with business, labour market and integration institutions and NGOs in Tyrol. So successfully that now numerous potential participants had to be turned away due to the end of the project.

The project results will be presented at a closing event in Innsbruck on 26 November 2021 and discussed with all interested parties in the context of the integration system in Tyrol.

Creative Virtual Cooperation – Become part of the European initiative!

The EU projects “Creative Change” and “The ONE project” both aim to make cooperation and communication in EU-projects more creative, innovative and thus more sustainable.

If you would like to bring a breath of fresh air into your project management, subscribe to our newsletter  or join our community on LinkedIn.

die Berater is coordinator of the project partnership Creative Change  –  a mixture of adult education organisations and culture-creating and mediating institutions. We want to inspire each other and collect and test new approaches for the management of EU projects. The motto is: Moving away from a strict process orientation towards a human-centred approach! Make room for design thinking and the increased use of creativity techniques in different phases of project work!

Creative Change invites EU project managers from all over Europe to join us on our common journey towards more creativity and innovation. In the project, we are collecting different tools and methodologies and we develop an online Creativity Space to explore and learn about them.

Start thinking outside the project management-box and learn more at creative-change!

Hunt For Europe Newsletter 1 released

On 9 June 2021, a webinar presentation of the “Hunt for Europe” project was held. The webinar involved our stakeholders, i.e. 40 teachers of the partner countries who will be involved in the test with their students next year. It’s a mix between learning the language and learning aspects of everyday life, customs, and traditions of a country, with a view to total integration, the most important objective of the project.

Read more about the current state of development in our first newsletter.

The project is funded by the “ERASMUS+” programme. Our international partners are: EnAIP Piemonte (Italy), LudusXR (Denmark), Wisamar (Germany), Centre 4 Education (Spain), Vardakeios School of Hermoupolis (Greece), MTU (Ireland).

Why are intercultural competences so important in healthcare?

In everyday care, people from different cultures come together. In their daily work, healthcare staff often have to master challenging situations.

Especially in intercultural encounters, it is different knowledge, different attitudes, reservations, etc. that lead to misunderstandings.

In the Erasmus+ project I-CARE we are developing various materials on the topic of intercultural/transcultural care and making them available to all those working in social and care professions.

Through more intercultural competence, nurses gain more confidence in dealing with diverse patients/client groups. Knowing how to react correctly and concrete tips for dealing with delicate situations contribute to better mutual understanding and thus reduce stress in everyday work. In the end, everyone benefits – patients, staff and not least the entire organisation.

Invitition to a Webinar about Europhobia

We would like to invite you to our MEGA course – An informal and playful way to challenge Europhobia in youth work. The MEGA course is part of the EU project MEGA that has been implemented since February 2020 by six partners from six countries. The course has been developed by the project team over the last months and will now be piloted across Europe. For more information on the project please visit our website: mega.bupnet.eu

The course addresses youth workers, trainers, facilitators and other relevant stakeholders that offer services and training for young people.

The aim of the course is to enable the participants to implement an innovative approach at empowering young people to critically analyse Europhobic distortions of the European Union and to learn to act as “European ambassadors”, i.e. to convincingly spread realistic images of the EU among their peers. Youth workers will learn to identify and unmask Europhobic myths, apply quiz-based learning and produce learning quizzes with and for young people.

We start on 15 June at 17 CET with an introductory webinar. Here you will have the opportunity to get to know the project team and the other participants. We would also like to introduce you to the course concept and launch the e-learning phase. The course will then take place virtually – unfortunately not in Palermo due to Corona. Course days are June 5th, 8th, and 13th, 2021, from 10.00 to 12.30 and 14.00 to 16.30 CET.

If you are interested to join the webinar or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at bridgestoeurope@dieberater.com!

Our Priority Area for New Erasmus+ Projects: Safeguarding health, integrity and wellbeing

Education has an important role to play in informing and encouraging people about habits and behaviour conducive to mental and physical health at work and in life in general. die Berater® advocates empowerment and resilience against any manifestation of discrimination, hate and violence in the digital and in the real world.

Please have a look at our profile to learn more about our activities on this important area. And let’s develop new Erasmus+ proposals on health, integrity and wellbeing.

Our Priority Area for New Erasmus+ Projects: Learning and working for sustainability

A special priority of the new Erasmus+ programme will be the contribution of the education, training and youth sectors to the European Union’s Green Deal and to sustainability at large.

For die Berater® sustainability is much more than a buzzword that is already worn out before it has been properly understood and rudimentarily implemented.

We want to live sustainability in education. Acting sustainably means not acting at the expense of future generations. Thinking and acting responsibly,  without (knowingly) causing permanent damage to people and the environment.

This perspective gives room for many new important Erasmus’ project we want to develop together with you. Please have a look at our profile to learn more about what sustainability means for us.
