About Belgrade Open School

3. Background of the project
 Despite big efforts of European Union to amortize the
problems occurred with the big inflow of refugees in last few
years, there are still many challenges needed to be addressed.
 High number of refugees and migrants is still not integrated
into our societies, and one of the biggest issues is the process
of their integration into the labor market.
 The main aim of the project ALMIT is to contribute to
refugees’ and immigrants integration and finding a quicker
way for their inflow into the labor market.

4. Shortly about the project
 The project develops and pilots schemes and training delivery
mechanisms enabling a swift labour market integration.
 The adopted approach is to perform screening of abilities of
the targeted people to initial civic integration, skills profiling
and matching, thus facilitating their entering into local labour
market.
 Implementation period: 01/2018 – 06/2020
 Project is funded under EU Programme for Employment and
Social Innovation (EaSI)

5. Target groups
 The project is aimed at the following target groups:
• Legally staying refugees and immigrants in the so called hot-border
area of Bulgaria and Serbia;
• Accepted refugees and immigrants in the far neighbour area of
megacities of Turkey, e.g. Istanbul and hence Duzce;
• Diffused refugees and immigrants within the partner countries who
keep contacts with refugee organisations;
• Refugees who obtained a status, but are still in the refugee camps
or in its surroundings.
