During the virtual meeting of the EU coordinators of the vocational colleges in the administrative district of Cologne, The Department for EU Projects in Vocational Education and Training (EU GES), Cologne Government Regional Office provided information about the Erasmus+ project Equity – equal opportunities and inclusion in vocational education and training for young refugees and migrants. 50 teachers of the vocational colleges were informed about the content and results of the project on 21.3.2022.

The objectives of EQUITY are to exchange experience with the successful inclusion of refugees and migrants from all over Europe, to combine best practices and to use synergy effects to develop a holistic pedagogical strategy for successful inclusion. On this basis, different modules and a toolkit for practical use will be developed with the aim of making young people active members of civil societies and providing them with a successful pathway into working life. At the same time, teachers will be supported to better deal with diversity and integration and to learn from each other on a European level. Project partners are located in Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Sweden and representing the education, training, social and community sector.
