The core of the project is a multilingual website that collects basic information for parents offering help, and will also offer templates to be downloaded and printed with basic information in the languages of newly arrived migrants.
In most EU countries there is an obligation for parents to enrol their children in schools shortly after arriving to the country. Schools as education institutions are the best interface to also provide services to parents to support them in several areas, for example:
- understanding the school system and obligations for their children
- understanding social services and child support available for them
- how to use everyday services – housing, infrastructure (gas, electricity, internet, mobile), financial services (opening a bank account), health services, shopping, cultural offer, free time activities, etc.
- how to find employment, how to validate their skills
- social and family support available
- how special needs – physical, mental, dietary
- learning basic language of the hosting country
- providing for the basic right of the child to mother tongue and home culture
The website provides up-to-date information in these areas where school professionals and parent leaders often need help providing the right data.
