The main task of project "Education for Deeper Social Integration" (EDSI) is the social integration of adults, especially refugees and migrants, into the mainstream society through holistic education approaches, which we will research and also determine their potential for transfer into new local contexts. Throughout Europe different methods and strategies for facing the refugee crisis have been developed and through this project we detected the best strategies in the field of adult education aimed at adults from vulnerable groups. In the project, we trained educators, who already possess the basic skill sets, on the best principles of effective and active work in the field of educating adult refugees and members of other vulnerable groups and helping in their integration into the mainstream society and the work market.

EDSI's 5  training activities for educators included 95 experts working in the fields of adult education and refugee integration coming from Slovenia, Greece, Bulgaria, Italy, the Czech Republic, Spain and Great Britain. These training activities were based on informal learning methods, flexible modules, use of ICT, a lot of field work and visits to relevant stakeholders. This training program were supplemented with a large number of dissemination events: 8 exhibitions, 3 concerts, 8 round tables, 6 press conferences and 2 workshops. The dissemination events reached a wide array of target groups ranging from refugees, through the general public to experts and decision-makers.

One of the key objectives of EDSI is the detection and analysis of good practices related to adult education on the one hand and working with vulnerable groups on the other. With this goal in mind, the consortium members detected and analyzed the most relevant practices in their local, regional and national contexts. These practices also forme the basis of the mobility activities during the project and the trainings of educational staff from partner organizations. The collected practices are divided by nations and offer key data about the practice and relevant links and contact details to acquire further information.
