The ALL IN project addresses the gap between EU integration policies and the actual social inclusion of migrants and refugees in Europe. While frameworks such as the Action Plan on the Integration of Third Country Nationals (2016) stress the importance of language training, teacher training and civic education, studies and Eurobarometer data show that integration outcomes remain mixed. ALL IN focuses on language and culture programmes for adult migrants and on the crucial role of teachers and host communities in making these programmes truly inclusive. With 6 partners from 5 European countries, bringing expertise in language teaching, training design, migration education, intercultural communication and soft skills, the project aims to use language education as a powerful lever for effective social inclusion.

The project’s overarching objective is to promote real social inclusion of immigrant and refugee adults by enhancing the quality and impact of language and culture programmes. It aims to equip language and culture teachers with practical strategies to integrate soft skills, empathy, rapport-building and intercultural awareness into their courses, so that language learning also becomes a structured path to participation and mutual understanding. At the same time, ALL IN seeks to involve members of the host society and other stakeholders, counter discrimination and fake news, and increase the uptake of language and culture programmes by low-skilled migrant adults, ultimately benefiting both migrants and host communities.
