Promote diversity and fight against discrimination in the labour market
End date: Apr 21, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The Di&Di project was designed in 2013 by six partners, in five European countries (France, Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Germany) to develop a strategy, combining the fight against discrimination and the valuation of diversity, to support the inclusion of migrant jobseekers in the labour market, an ongoing issue in Europe. The programmes implemented during the project were focused on low-qualified female migrants and qualified young migrants, who are, according to Eurostat data, more vulnerable to unemployment, precariousness and discrimination in all the European countries. The Di&Di project achieved its objectives as the partners developed and adapted a training programme to support low-qualified female migrants and young graduate migrants to identify and deal with discrimination and to overcome EU labour market obstacles. The project also developed and adapted a mentoring programme for professionals, working in the employment sector or with migrants, to enhance their capabilities in this area. The training and mentoring programmes were inspired by lessons learnt from the innovative Migrapass and Diversité+ projects. The determination of all the partners to reach the common objectives despite different contexts and cultures, encouraged open-mindedness, new perspectives and approaches which enriched the project, its reach and impact. The project inscribes itself in the Lifelong Learning approach, enabling an ongoing pursuit of knowledge and learning, which are essential for the Di&Di partners in their common effort for more inclusive job markets in Europe.
