Between 27 and 29 September 2023, we hosted the partners of the KEYS! project at the 4th partner meeting at Academia.
The project is co-financed by the EU, ERASMUS+ programme and brings together 10 partners from 9 countries – the lead partner comes from Finland, whilst the other partners come from the Netherlands, Cyprus, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Norway and Slovenia.
The KEYS project is committed to creating a brighter future for migrants and students from other cultural backgrounds.
The central thread of the partnership is migrants and their integration into the processes of vocational education, training and employment.
From the start of the project in January 2022 until today, we have identified key challenges and 5 key competences that play an important role in facilitating the integration of young people into a new social environment and the education process. These competences are:
- Literacy,
- Digital competences,
- STEM competences (science, technology, engineering, mathematics),
- Personal and social competences,
- Cultural competences.
At this partner meeting in Maribor, in the spirit of creative collaboration, we developed learning materials and practical exercises for improving competences for each of the 5 competences.
The developed materials will assist Academia in working with international students, enabling us to integrate them into the education and socialisation process as quickly as possible.
After the hard work, we also ensured relaxation. We enabled the partners to get to know the city and its rich wine culture with a guided tour of the Vinag wine cellar, the Old Vine House and networking at dinner in the city centre.
The Keys! partners were delighted with the friendly people and the culinary and wine experiences that our beautiful city has to offer. They assured us that they will certainly return to Maribor.
