KA210-ADU Welcome in Practice: Practical Tools for Refugee Integration

Welcome in Practice is a KA210-ADU small-scale partnership idea led by AMURT Portugal that builds on AMURT organisation’s Refugee Guidebook and turns it into practical, ready-to-use training for the people who support refugees day to day. The project starts from a simple reality: many adult educators, intercultural mediators, volunteers and frontline staff are motivated to help, but often lack clear guidance, culturally sensitive tools, safeguarding confidence, and an easy way to translate “good information” into consistent action.

The project’s solution is to transform the guidebook into a modular training pathway that can be delivered online, in person, or in blended form, depending on what is realistic in each context. Instead of one fixed course, partners co-create a toolkit made of short modules that can be used separately or combined, including first reception and urgent needs, communication and trust-building, safeguarding and risk awareness (including exploitation/trafficking indicators), psychosocial first aid basics, and long-term integration approaches that strengthen community autonomy. A key added element is the creation of an “Immediate Reception” chapter/toolkit focused on crisis situations, with simple steps, checklists and decision-support tools that make the first response safer and more coordinated.

Because national systems vary, the toolkit will include templates that partners can localise—such as referral-map formats, “who to contact” lists, and guidance on how to adapt modules to local documentation and service pathways. Each partner will run at least one micro-pilot training with a real target group (adult educators, mediators, volunteer teams or municipal frontline staff), collect structured feedback, and refine the materials together into a final “replication version” that other organisations can adopt with minimal support.

AMURT is looking for partners in programme countries who have direct access to the target groups and want a practical, transferable training package—adult education centres, NGOs working with refugees, municipalities/integration services, intercultural mediation programmes, and organisations with expertise in psychosocial first aid and safeguarding. The project is designed for strong uptake: partners will embed the training into their regular practice (onboarding, CPD, volunteer preparation) and share the final toolkit through relevant adult education and integration networks.

This project will be done by our partner AMURT, we add the PIF of their organisation in the description
