Migration & Integration

 

 

In European societies, the question of how to integrate people with a migration background into the host society and which rights to grant them, has become increasingly important. Research and education in the field of migration have turned out to be highly relevant, if not a major necessity.

 

 

Current Projects:

 

 

Connecting Communities

Multilingual women are creating a multilingual radio.

 

With Connecting communities, the project leaders have set the goal to develop adequate and local learning opportunities for women with a migration background in the rural areas of Steyr, Kirchdorf an der Krems and Voitsberg. This independent radio stations plays a special role: it is a learning center, a meeting place and an important media and communication tool. The acquired knowledge about interesting subjects for the communities is transported to the outside world in the form of a self-designed radio show, by the local women.

What motivates second generation migrants to undertake adult learning and what stops them? Are there differences between rural and urban regions regarding needs and requirements as well as opportunities to participate in education? Which conditions promote successful educational careers? The project Standpunkt Bildung looks into these and other questions through an innovative cooperation between adult education and research in which all network-partners bring along their long-standing experience and expertise in the areas of women's education, lifelong learning, educational disadvantage and last but not least in dealing with integration and inclusion
