¿Por qué es necesario este proyecto?
Según la OIM (Organización Internacional de Migraciones) y UNICEF (2016), se estima que hay un total de 244 millones de migrantes internacionales en todo el mundo (un 3,3% de la población mundial); y en número de desplazados internos se estima que hay de 40 millones y un número de refugiados de más de 22 millones. En 2015, de los 7.300 millones de personas que constituían la población mundial, 244 millones eran migrantes internacionales: 1 de cada 30 personas
Sólo en la UE, uno de cada cinco de los más de 100.000 refugiados y migrantes que han cruzado el Mar Mediterráneo hacia Europa ha sido un menor. Se estima que sólo en 2016, más de 214,355 niños migrantes han llegado a los estados miembros de la UE. Se debe tener en cuenta que estos menores con antecedentes de migración corren el riesgo de ser violentados en su ruta migratoria, y debido a las dificultades de identificación y registro, no siempre se abarcan o satisfacen las propias necesidades de protección infantil.
Reflexionando sobre este análisis, se hace urgente que los estados miembros de la UE deben plantearse el desarrollo de procedimientos y sistemas comunes para hacer frente a dicha problemática; y, es aqui donde este proyecto GVETS, promueve una solución tangible de apoyo al desarrollo profesional interdisciplinario con un enfoque europeo común e integrado para satisfacer las necesidades de los profesionales que trabajan en este ámbito y mejorar sus competencias.
¿Cuáles son sus objetivos?
Se constata que hay una carencia en estas temáticas en el sistema de formación profesional actual en la Unión Europea , por lo que GVETS propone el objetivo de crear una plataforma de formación online e interactiva centrada en el desarrollo de competencias para los profesionales que trabajan con niños en entornos migratorios.
Así que se persigue el desarrollo de un programa formativo interdisciplinario a través de la gamificación para nuevos profesionales que trabajan con menores en entornos migratorios para mejorar sus competencias y fortalecer el rol en la protección de los niños. El método pedagógico innovador de gamificación contiene un despliegue de experimentación, resolución de problemas, comunicación y trabajo en red, pensamiento crítico, contextualización y transferencia de conocimiento al terreno profesional.
Otros Objetivos del proyecto:
Que la formación mixta sea acreditada a través del EQF, ECVET y EQAVET
Proporcionar métodos pedagógicos de Formación profesional innovadores, pautas de buenas prácticas y estrategias para el uso de herramientas digitales y entornos de aprendizaje innovadores
Elaborar un e-book con un análisis sobre el estado del arte en los 7 países del consorcio y a nivel de la UE sobre oportunidades de capacitación, metodologías y prácticas dirigidas a estos profesionales que trabajan con niños en un entorno de migración.
¿A qué perfiles profesionales se dirige?
A cualquier profesional del ámbito social que trabaje en entornos de migración de manera directa o indirecta, asi como otros técnicos y trabajadores interesados en el ámbito social: trabajadores sociales, psicólogos, educadores, maestros, médicos, estudiantes, voluntariado, etc..
¿Cuáles son los contenidos del programa formativo?
Programa
Módulo 1: Protección de los niños migrantes.
Módulo 2: Trabajo con niños migrantes en riesgo.
Módulo 3: Manejo de la crisis con niños migrantes.
Módulo 4: Educación cívica y orientación profesional en entornos migratorios.
Módulo 5: Práctica crítica y constructiva en trabajo social.
Módulo 6: Profesionales del ámbito social que trabajan con niños migrantes.
Módulo 7: Trabajo social en la ERA digital.
¿Qué aporta la gamificación al mundo de la formación?
La gamificación, el juego mejora e impulsa el aprendizaje del alumnado. Al adulto, como al niño, le gusta el juego, y éstos motivan y refuerzan las competencias
El cambio conductual para que se produzca de manera permanente y se interiorice en el alumnado con mayor facilidad se ve favorecido por el juego, por el “learning by doing” y a través de experiencias lúdicas y emocionantes.
Poner el ejemplo de algunas de las situaciones que se abordan en la plataforma haciendo uso de la gamificación.
Acertijos, videos, Casos prácticos, Crucigramas, Quizz interactivos, Sopa de letras, Completa el hueco, etc…Ejercicios de resolución de problemas, comunicación, pensamiento crítico, y la contextualización de casos
¿Qué pasos se han dado hasta ahora en este proyecto y cuáles son los siguientes?
Ahora mismo , una vez finalizados los materiales formativos se pone en marcha la primera de las dos fases piloto, donde se van a testar en la misma plataforma de elearning el curso de formación para en una segunda fase con las aportaciones y feedback recibido abrir dicho pilotaje a todas los interesados de los 7 paises socios . Después del pilotaje y tras las mejoras en su desarrollo, la plataforma estará abierta hasta más allá de la finalización del proyecto, octubre del 2019.
Todo el contenido formativo final permitirá a los profesionales y estudiantes hacer uso de las prácticas y recursos innovadores de Formación Profesional para mejorar sus competencias curriculares. El proyecto quiere llegar a 15.000 profesionales de los 7 países socios en octubre de 2019.
¿Quién está testando la plataforma de elearning?
Ahora al menos está previsto que sean 40 profesionales de cada pais participante, en total un mínimo de 280 participantes.
¿Qué papel desempeña Itainnova?
Socio Activo de todos los paquetes de trabajo, creador de parte de los contenidos y de la metodología, así como evaluador de calidad del proyecto en sus dos años de duración
¿Qué papel tiene el resto de socios?
Cada uno es activo y responsable de un paquete de trabajo, pero todos han participado en la elaboración de contenidos y metodología haciendo de manera colaborativa y cooperativa los módulos
¿Qué resultados se espera obtener?
Se persigue desarrollar a través de un programa de formación online la capacitación interdisciplinaria a través de la gamificación para nuevos profesionales que trabajan con niños en entornos de migración y así mejorar sus competencias y fortalecer su rol en el ámbito de la educación, acogida y protección de los menores. El innovador método pedagógico se alinea con las necesidades de capacitación de dichos profesionales para enfrentarse mejor a los desafíos de la sociedad.
La gamificación, como metodología implica la experimentación, resolución de problemas, comunicación, el pensamiento crítico, la contextualización y la transferencia de conocimiento a la vida real, presentado todo en un entorno lúdico.
El partenariado está formado por 7 organizaciones socias de 7 países europeos: Menedék (Hungría), IASIS (Grecia), OXFAM ITALIA ONLUS (Italia), AIDGLOBAL (Portugal), INSTITUTO TECNOLOGICO DE ARAGON (España), Grupo de Desarrollo de la Diversidad (Lituania), Centro para la Innovación Social Ltd. (Chipre).

We are glad to introduce first practical result of GVETS project partnership – e-book “Introducing gamification in vocational education and training for professionals and social workers in the field of migrant children protection and support. Skills Ecosystem and Methodological Framework”!
This e-book is the result of the background research produced by the partnership, needed in order to collect needs and resources in the field of trainings aimed at professionals working with migrant children. Partners did desk research on migration and child protection legislation, available services, training opportunities (including gamification) for support workers and empirical research by organizing focus group and collecting information from stake holders in this field. EU level research on the same topics was also conducted.
Results of this research and recommendations for the future training modules of GVETS e-training platform are presented in this publication. You can find it in our Resources section, feel free to download it and use it!

Multiplier event held in Budapest, July 2019
Menedék’s first multiplier event was held for both stakeholders and members of the target group. Participants had an opportunity not only to get to know the project and its outputs, but they could also try some exciting activities from the training platform. Some activities were presented on the online platform, and some were transformed into offline training activities. Participants had a chance to work in pairs and in groups, which also provided stakeholders with innovative strategies on how to utilize the GVETS training in an offline or blended setting. In the afternoon session, participants were asked to share their experiences and ideas on VET, gamification tools and how to best utilize GVETS.
Second Multiplier event held in Budapest, September 2019
On Menedék’s second multiplier event, the participants were more experienced professionals and trainers, thus they were familiar with the content of the Modules, and the discussions focused on the potentials for utilizing the GVETS materials in existing trainings, and its implications to the VET opportunities for helping professionals. The stakeholders regarded the platform as a useful pedagogical tool and are committed to implement it in their trainings.

IOM, UNHCR and UNICEF publish the report “At a crossroads Unaccompanied and separated children in their transition to adulthood in Italy”
Between 2014 and 2018, more than 70,000 unaccompanied and separated children (UASC) arrived in Italy by sea, 90 per cent of whom were between 15 and 17 years old. The significant presence of UASC (7,272 in June 2019) and the growing number of UASC who have turned 18 (around 60,000 over the last five years) have highlighted the need to better understand the measures and opportunities for the protection and social inclusion of this specific population group in their transition to adulthood.This research, commissioned by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), provides an overview of trends and possible pathways of transition to adult life of UASC in Italy. The main objective of the research, which has focused on the three regions hosting the highest number of UASC (Sicily, Lombardy and Latium), is to provide evidence on the factors that are facilitating or constraining this transition, both at the individual and structural level.

In Italy, the statistical Dossier on Immigration was presented on 24 October 2019.
The number of foreign citizens residing in Italy in 2018 amount to 5.255.503 (Idos, 2019), just a few hundred more than the year before. It is worth recalling that, according to the consular registers, the Italians residing abroad are already over 5.365.000. Concerning their nationalities, they are less than 200, 30,5% of which is made of EU citizens, while 1.1 million come from other European countries. The top 5 communities of foreign origin in our country are Romanians (1.206.938), Albanians (441.027), Moroccans (422.980), Chinese (299.823) and Ukrainians (239.424).
The amount of people entering Italy due to economic or familiar issues has plummeted over the last few years, as we are currently witnessing migrations of people fleeing wars or political and religious persecutions through the Mediterranean route.
