The scope of the Volutoring project is to develop a comprehensive tutoring approach for building key skills and competences of low-skilled adult migrant-refugees (1st main target group), in order to facilitate their integration in the educational, professional and social life. This comprehensive capacity plan will be based on a volunteer-based tutoring model facilitated by an electronic platform and supported by volunteers or professionals (2nd main target group), who will act as tutors to the low-skilled adult migrants/refugees for building their literacy, numeracy & digital skills building, necessary for empowering the target group to fruitfully participate in social and economic life and to improve their self-reliance.
To that end, this project is expected to have a long-lasting impact on 2 levels:
- It will foster social inclusion of low-skilled adult migrants in their recipient countries by building their literacy, numeracy and digital skills; and
- It will elevate the level of support skills’ building services to migrants by introducing a new tutoring methodology, facilitated by volunteers.
