Description: The corona crisis is having a major impact on migrant entrepreneurs, banks, insurers and financial markets. The shortage of liquidity is described as unprecedented. Regulators are in the forefront trying to mitigate the negative effects of the crisis by adopting supportive measures and recommendations for the sectors.
The importance of ICT skills (Information Communication Technology)
AGENDA AND REGISTRATION:
"How ICT skills can improve migrants and refugees’ labor integration Changing lives through coding"
Topic:Unlocking diversity - Resilience of divers cities and communities in times of crisis
Description: In our globalized times of constant changes, diversity has become a fact of life in Europe.
It is sufficient to wander around a European city to see how our societies are more diverse than they have ever been. This diversity – or, in some cases, even “super-diversity” - has brought about a long list of benefits: it fostered the development of new businesses, contributed to establishing new cultural manifestations and even helped with the renewal of entire neighborhoods in cities. The benefits of integrating diversity have proven to be considered according to extensive research, which has shown that diverse communities, organizations and institutions may enjoy a performance advantage.

The INNO-WISEs project is coming to an end and to take stock of all the knowledge we gained and shared during this project, we are organising a two days webinar marathon for Work Integration Social Enterprises (WISEs) in transition!
WISEs are small or medium sized organisations that work on the integration of the most disadvantaged groups. They currently face significant shortages of skilled labour force, which the INNO-WISEs project aimed to tackle. The goal of the project was to develop and deliver solutions for applying key technologies and managerial models to WISEs, in particular through training programmes. During this two-day event, you will have the opportunity to participate to numerous online training sessions, developped during the project and created for WISEs.
Join us online on the 17th and 18th June from 9 am to 5 pm !
You can register here.

Young people between 15 and 29 years old made up 17% of the European Union (EU) population in 2018.
Irrespective of their gender, economic situation, social origin and age, they all face common challenges such as weak labour markets and lack of education and training opportunities.
The European Union offers a land of opportunities if we consider the increasing mobility of young people within the EU, crucial to strengthen its position as a knowledge- based economy. For 30 years, Interreg and cooperation policy has found solutions for young people.
How? Working together, building partnerships and sharing knowledge to improve educational level, qualifications, skills, international competences and job opportunities for all and to make “an economy that works for people” as young generations are the future of cooperation.
If you want to learn more about EU cooperation activities as part of coherent policies for youth empowerment join this online meeting.
