Description
The VRIN project envisions to promote the effective integration of TCNs in local communities by providing intervention tools for training, as a means of making the process of acquaintance with the local context more interactive, interesting and attractive. The target groups will undertake a participative learning path for the development of their skills, competences and acquire new ones, with the final aim of a mutual cooperation for integration in society and labor market.
The project challenge is to promote a two-way-integration process by developing a common online platform and an interactive guidebook that will apply to both target groups: TCNs and actor of TCNs.
