PRISCILA: Context and Needs

🤝Italy, Spain and Turkiye are key entry points to migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in Europe. When taking a closer look at migrant population in the territories from partner organisations, we find that 12.4%, 22.4%, 11.6%, 15,3% and 35.5%2 of the population in Bologna, Barcelona, Istanbul, Bavaria and Brussels respectively are migrant.

Rapid demographic changes, compounded by the severity of international contexts—such as war, forced displacement, climate change, and persecution—and polarizing media discourses, generate multifaceted levels of social tension and trauma. These dynamics have critical implications for the well-being of migrant adult learners as well as host communities.

This project aims to develop the PRISCILA method to empower migrant adult learners by fostering three of the eight competences identified by the European Commission:

👥Personal, social, and learning-to-learn competence

📢Cultural awareness and expression competence

🌎Citizenship competence

The PRISCILA project brings together partner experience, research-based practices, and recommendations encompassed within the EU relevant framework for adult learning to create an inclusive (adapted to learner needs), comprehensive (multidimensional and complexity-based learning) and participant-centred (learner-led process) approach to key competence acquisition.
