The in-service training program aims to help VET tutors and adult educators develop necessary skills, such as intercultural awareness and understanding, tolerance, patience, and facilitation skills for managing diverse groups, in order to work with migrant students and to help them improve their language and digital skills.

Specifically, the training program provides 50 hours of training, including:
– 21 hours of face-to-face classes focusing on developing skills to support migrant women and third-country nationals to become integration leaders;
– 29 hours of self-directed online training that addresses the pedagogical and theoretical elements of the curriculum, including how to deliver training in a blended and inquiry-based learning environment.

The entire programme is divided into 5 modules, each of which addresses specific needs:

Module 1. Learning Proposal for women third country nationals – describes the objectives and activities developed with THRIVE to foster women’s empowerment and raise awareness about gender and culturally diverse language.

Module 3.
