ArtEMi – Art and Education for social inclusion of migrant women

The ArtEMi project consortium aims to promote social inclusion among migrant women and marginalised groups to overcome psychological distress through art therapy, storytelling and activities aimed at increasing self-esteem, self-entrepreneurship and employment prospects by involving a wide range of organisations at local, national, and European level.

Objectives of the project

• Social inclusion of migrant women through the enhancement and development of skills and competencies to facilitate access to educational and training pathways
• Acquisition and improvement of digital skills through the development of competencies needed for accessing education and employment opportunities
• Participation and social engagement for encouraging migrant women to actively take part in local communities
• Training opportunities for adult education and social professionals working with migrant women as subjects of intersectional discrimination

Expected results/deliverable

• ArtEMi Occupability Guidelines: set of guidelines to rediscover competencies and skills with autobiographical narration and to motivate towards training and self-entrepreneurship
