    • Introduction

      The aims of European Module for Integration Courses [EMIC] project are to adapt special courses - focusing on European contents to the already existing integration courses in the different European countries. 

      The courses contain six different modules, dealing with the (1) History of the EU; (2) The European Political Union; (3) The European & global society; (4) Fundamental values of the EU; (5) Living in the EU, and (6) Studying and working in the EU.

      All developed materials are provided on this online platform.

      As so far no platform for exchange on European integration module and learning materials exist, the platform is innovative and serves also for a discussion and exchange module on these topics. 

      Additionally EU background information and basic information on the main responsible governmental organizations of each project country, which are responsible for the integration of refugees (such as Ministries and Employment Agencies) are linked on the platform.

      The platform is publicized via several dissemination activities to the networks of each project partner as well as governmental and European organizations. These stakeholders can benefit from the contents, use them in their organizations and integration courses as well, as participate in the discussions and exchanges on the platform. 

      Refugees/ migrants can benefit from the information given on the platform as well as from the course materials.

      The platform will continue to exist after the project end. Additional or adjusted materials (e.g. for different learning groups or local contexts) can be shared on the platform. Also, information on other European countries can be distributed on the platform after the project end.

      All developed materials are freely accessible on the E-learning platform. 

      This approach guarantees a sustained use of the materials independent from the partners’ direct involvement.
