Summary of the project

The project FAMET aims to target and tackle the the various and urgent needs of migrants on a European scale answering directly the horizontal priorities. It fosters the migrant entrepreneurial spirit through education and qualification procedures taking into account the human capital towards
entrepreneurship as a parameter for economic stability and development. The project addresses marginalized and discriminated individuals into providing equal rights for education and development (at a personal and professional level). The FAMET project is the answer to migrants in need in terms of social exclusion. Inclusive training and enhancement of skills and competences is to raise productivity at local, regional, national and EU level.
The project aims for equal societies with active members promoting creativity and innovation as components of social impact. As migration channels raise and fast moving societies tend to marginalize people the need for inclusive mindsets and enhancement of skills and competences is considered to be mandatory. Furthermore migration patterns affect the economic development of each country and the EU as a whole (D. Stefane, O. Selin, 2018).
With migration rates being high for both skilled and unskilled persons the project foresees training paths developed with personalized features addressing those who wish to start up a business as well as migrants who already run a business that is at stake. The human capital and its development constitutes the fundamental roots of Lifelong Learning.
FAMET aims to be a powerful and practical tool towards high quality learning opportunities that on a personalized level taking into consideration the profile of the user.
Furthemore, migrants and refuges who already run a business will be able to benefit from the project outcomes managing to sustain and make their business profitable while overcoming barriers and obstacles.

FAMET Outputs
