The project involves the implementation of an innovative training program that combines moments of online learning (through a dedicated platform) with practical immersion experiences in different partner countries. Participants-social mediators and “maîtres d’apprentissage”-will be able to follow thematic modules, do self-assessments of their skills, participate ininternship periods, and conclude the course with a certification recognized at the European level through microcredits.
The goals
The underlying idea is twofold: On the one hand, to provide common tools for the training of social mediators, so that they can operate with shared skills in different European contexts; on the other hand, to professionally recognize and enhance this figure, creating a European reference framework for social mediation.
A network consortium
The consortium brings together partners from six countries: Cnam (France), CreE.A (European social mediation network), Optima (France), Universidade Lusófona (Portugal), CEPAÏM (Spain), EGREGOS (Belgium) and Mosaico – Azioni per i Rifugiati (Italy).
Mosaico contributes with the module dedicated to social mediation with refugee persons, bringing to the project the experience gained in Turin in social mediation with asylum seekers and holders of international protection.
Thanks to ArlekinPro, a European training course in social mediation that combines theory, practice and certification will be available for the first time, strengthening the role of mediators and opening up new prospects for professional recognition.
