Validating Integration Competences of refugees
On 10./11. of April, the VIC partners met in Vienna and started developing the competence framework based on LEVEL5 for assessing and validating refugees’ competences related to the integration process.
According to the idea that all citizens shall be equipped with a number of competences to be able to live peacefully together in a diverse society the VIC partners set up a repository of competences.
VIC has officially started in December 2017 with a first partner meeting in Bonn, Germany.
The two-day meeting served to get to know the project and the involved staff members and to plan in further detail the next steps. Currently, the partners are exploring existing integration programmes in their countries in order to destil from them an operational working definition of “integration competence” as basis for the development of the VIC validation approach.
