"The Social SELF-I Project, with the creation of a strategic partnership formed by ASPIC Lavoro (Italy), HdBA (Germany), INSUP (France), EOPPEP (Greece), carried out its activities in a 2-year period referring to central issues of European relevance, priorities in the countries of the beneficiaries involved, in relation to aspects assumed by the migration phenomenon in these years, still an urgent issue. The project is based on the evidence of numbers (more than one million asylum seekers arrived in Europe during the year of the beginning of the project), on the new training and qualification demands, and the need to appropriately equip professionals whose work has an impact on the inclusion processes. The latter is a central theme, in the individual, social and work aspects of specific target groups (refugees, asylum seekers and segments of the adult population experiencing career transitions in conditions of vulnerability and risk of exclusion, e.g. mental and health issues, low-skilled; it is crucial to develop the methodologies for identifying skills, guidance and personal and professional empowerment. The activities of the project made a contribution to the capacity of welcoming and inclusion the individuals identified above, sharing the best training, methodological and orientation practices, an intense training program, involving testimonials and invited experts of great personal and professional value, and developing ""recommendations and methodological indications"" stemmed from a common work and shared reflection on these issues. The methodological and operational inputs, knowledge and know-how, were aimed at professionals, operators, lecturers and researches involved in teaching and training career guidance practitioners, trainers and consultants, teachers of L2, project developers, belonging to training and employment organizations and agencies, extended also to national and local stakeholders, local associations, in order to increase the mastery of approaches, tools and new targeted qualification paths. The main activities consisted in 3 training events in a 4-day period (Bordeaux, Mannheim and Rome), with intense and continuous cooperation. The focus of the contents concerned three key themes: methodologies, tools and processes of guidance and career counseling as ways to support self-empowerment; the Identification of skills to define the personal, training and qualification profile, as well as to manage transitions and analyze skill and qualification gaps; the transversality and transferability of methodologies, practices and tools in individual practices, with respect to purposes, contexts, recipients. The recommendations, consistent with the issues of the project, highlight how the different methodologies (relating to the transparency of skills and qualifications; career counseling, orientation, psycho-social intervention approaches, etc.) require adaptations and to be “tailored” with respect to formal standards and requirements as well as more calibrated procedures in terms of timing and implementation methods. They also put emphasis on the importance of developing the transversal skills necessary for operators and professionals working in very diverse contexts. Particular emphasis was given to the helping relationship, the ability to build a relationship, the ""understanding of needs"" (each person is different, from the other, has his or her own particular history, skills and competences); ""active listening"", ""'empathy"", ""respect for diversity"", ""multicultural perspective and competence"", as well as being able to deal with cases of traumatic experiences and vulnerable situations, which may be associated with the target groups addressed. Beneficiaries of the activities were staff and members of the partner organizations with expertise and experience in different disciplinary fields and professional roles (university professors, experts from national public agencies, members of non-profit associations, professional psychologists and psychotherapists, guidance consultants and trainers, researchers in the economic and sociological field). Precious was the presence of staff, trainees, indirect participants, experts invited to the training sessions who contributed with testimonials and feedback to the extension of the impact of the project activities in heterogeneous local and national contexts. In each training event direct incoming beneficiary participants worked together with members of the hosting organisation, indirect participants, experts and stakeholders involved in the training activities. High commitment to disseminate contents and results to various audiences (reaching over 1500 people), also through training activities, seminars, conferences and workshops at different levels, testimony of an impact on partner organizations, on the personal and professional know-how of the participants as well as on the dimensions of training and work policies through the events."
