Introduction

Together with Enda Europe, iriv initiated the Di & Di project in 5 European coutnries: France, Germany, Bulgaria, Italy and Switzerland. Transfer of innovation of the Diversité + project directed by Enda Europe (2007-2012) and former projects Migrapass (2010-2012) and mediateur Interculturel (2009) initiated by iriv,  the Di&Di project aims at designing a tool and strategy for two specific target groups: qualified youngsters  and low qualified women both sharing a migratory background. Professionals in charge of integration are also involved in both the training and mentoring.

I. Scope

The Di&Di project aims at proposing a tool and strategy for two specific target groups: qualified youngsters with migratory background and low qualified women also with a migratory background. It will propose a tool & mentoring that should allow them to take into account their special needs, to value their route, to define their professional profile on the basis of positive choices (and not being assigned to specific jobs). Albeit their profiles might be different the difficulties on the labour markets are quite similar. The Di & Di project should enhance exchange of experiences between youngsters and women in order for them to build their professional future. The youngsters may transfer knowledge and specific competences; women will transfer their experience and other competences.

The main innovation of the  Di & Di project is : to address directly people with a migratory heritage to support them on the labour market focussing on two specific target groups (qualified youngsters and low qualified women); to propose a tailor made training to these special target in order to make them think of a professional future ; identify skills and competences ;  open their perspectives for employment or new professional career, with a special view to enhance their creative and spirit of entrepreneurship competences ; to propose a mentoring, a collaborative method meant to enhance the exchange of experiences and competences among two target groups with different profiles (qualified youngsters & low qualified women)
