Inclusive Hubs Project Publishes Policy Paper on Migrant Inclusion in Schools

The Inclusive Hubs Project, an EU-funded initiative dedicated to transforming schools into welcoming and inclusive spaces for all learners, has released a Policy Paper addressing key challenges and gaps in the inclusion of migrant families within schools and society. The Policy Paper will be shared with policymakers, stakeholders, and authorities across partner countries to foster systemic, impactful changes for migrant inclusion. 

The new Policy Paper from the Inclusive Hubs Project outlines key recommendations to improve migrant integration in schools. Drawing from research with migrants, educators, and local stakeholders (WP2), it identifies barriers such as low language proficiency and early school leaving. Key actions include investing in cultural mediation, providing ongoing professional development for educators, and engaging local communities in supporting migrant families. The project stresses the importance of equipping educators with intercultural skills and ensuring long-term emotional and resilience programs. Furthermore, it encourages the involvement of local stakeholders in decision-making to foster a sense of ownership and maximize the impact of integration plans.

The Inclusive Hubs Project is committed to promoting holistic approaches to teaching and learning, fostering collaboration among school staff, communities, migrant learners, and their families. The aim is to ensure that everyone feels welcomed, respected, and valued, especially those with fewer opportunities, such as migrant students.
