Integration Programme
Our Integration Programme focuses on enabling refugees to unlock their potential, rebuild their lives and make a positive contribution to the communities they live in.
The biggest barrier for refugees and migrants to become independent and fully integrated into society is a lack of language skills. Language skills are crucial for gaining equal socio-economic rights and accessing employment and education. Furthermore, shared language is essential for social cohesion and the overall well-being of refugees - it prevents exclusion and marginalisation and affects one’s sense of self-worth. Research recommends that access to language classes starts as soon as possible after arrival.
Our programme offers comprehensive, integrated support to enable participants to learn English in the most efficient way, increase their prospects of gaining access to meaningful employment and become self-sufficient.
