Policy Context and Legal Framework

VET trainers involved into the Italian refugees system are facing diverse learning styles and behavior of people with different cultural background and psychological meaning related to the refugees experiences, seems to differ between countries: it requires the adaptation of the teaching behavior as well as the integration of innovative methods (such as informal, collaborative) that can foster a learner center approach and continuity in learning.

In addition, they are involved in a deeply differentiated delivery organization in terms of curricula, tools and programs employed in each local area. DEEPER takes into account two issues: a common need for designing a learner center and innovative training programs for refugees according to the diverse learning schema, and an heterogeneous situation of delivery models and training programs.

DEEPER aims to address the rising need for innovative (taking into account potential of informal, learner centered, behavioral learning) and common framework training (tools & programs as well as trainers community) which fulfill the requirements of refugees learning needs, styles and integration processes. By supporting VET trainers' competences development and their cooperative learning and exchange processes it intends to address in a systematic way the requirements of diverse refugees learning needs and styles and the wider integration process.

DEEPER intends to analyze, adapt test and valorise existing methodological guidelines and best practices according to language, context, and specific target groups and to integrate them within the training framework in order to ensure a common, innovative and effective approach throughout the national system for refugees in order to benefit trainers, institutions and, as indirect beneficiaries, refugees.
