From 5 to 9 February 2024 Academia representatives Nuša Slukan, Aleksandra Saška Gruden and Natalija Žunko took part in professional training within the Erasmus+ project KEYS! in Aveiro, Portugal, together with 35 representatives of vocational education from nine European countries (Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Germany, Portugal and Slovenia).
Participants explored an online tool that helps educators develop the key competences of young migrants and foreigners for successful inclusion in education and society. A lecture by a psychologist from the host school, Escola Profissional de Aveiro, offered an inspiring view of education that can change lives, especially for vulnerable groups. A "learning café" allowed educators to delve into learning portfolios and their usefulness for learners, institutions and employers, and a study visit to the Qualifica Centre gave invaluable insight into the identification and recognition of migrants' competences.
The training equipped participants with tools for understanding and addressing the needs of migrants and international students, and gave Academia's teaching staff valuable contacts, information and resources for using new learning materials. The key is that international students can join the processes of education, work and socialisation as quickly as possible.
