SEESI
Strengthening Employment and Education Skills for Integration - refugee, migrant and asylum seekers
Socio-economic integration is essential for refugees and humanitarian migrants long term employment stability, community participation and ultimately happiness in their new societies. However, socio-economic integration is difficult to achieve for a refugee and humanitarian migrant coming to Europe. In order to achieve socio-economic integration, an individual has to more than access public services, or gain entry into the Labour Market. SEESI project’s main objective is to resolve a fault to the socio-economic integration process through mobilising a unique 'Life(skills) before Language' (LBL) approach to the language barrier that refugees and migrants experience upon arrival in Europe.
