The integration of migrants and the impact on it of their acquisition of competence in the language(s) of the host country are a focus for political debate and policy initiatives in a large number of Council of Europe member States, as is demonstrated by the surveys carried out to date by the Council of Europe.

Within the project focused on offering language support to migrants, based on the extended Linguistic Integration of Adult Migrants (LIAM) project, in existence since 2006, the Council of Europe provides policy guidelines and pedagogical resources for the authorities and educators in the member States receiving refugees and other migrants, adults and children alike.

Glavni cilji

  • Skladno s skupnimi vrednotami in načeli Sveta Evrope države članice podpreti in jim pomagati pri razvijanju jasnih in učinkovitih politik ter pri reviziji obstoječih politik.
     
  • Zagotoviti praktično podporo za učinkovito uresničevanje teh politik.
     
  • Spodbujati dobre prakse in visoko kakovost pri pripravi jezikovnih tečajev in jezikovnega testiranja.
     
  • Državam članicam ponuditi platformo za izmenjavo izkušenj in za razmislek o politiki in praksah na tem področju.
     

Če povzamemo: namen te spletne strani je ponuditi praktično orodje za zbiranje uporabnih sredstev in dostop do njih. Nastala je s pomočjo skupine strokovnjakov z različnih področij.

Prevodi so na voljo v finščini, italijanščini, nemščini, norveščini, portugalščini, ruščini in slovenščini. Več
