<< Objectives >>We notice 2 disturbing but interrelated tendencies: the growing alienation of Brussels and the citizen, the identification with the european unification process is diminishing. At the same time neonationalist movements are getting more support throughout the member states. Both processes are getting enforced by uncomplete blame-culture jounalism. Our main issue is to counteract these tendencies by showing tangible subsidiarity - which makes our EU-democracies more resilient.<< Implementation >>We're a hiking seminaree on politics with multinational students. By being on the move we're giving transparency to different regional applications to the same EU rules. We show the history forming our varieties of cultures and we're creating room for discussing the different answers i.e. to protection of minorities or in the application of EES. At the same time we establish a network of regional organisations to live subsidiarity and discuss european processes subsidiarily.<< Results >>We expect participants to define themselves more as Europeans and to be more concious about the fact that there's no contradiction between local roots and supranational structures. We also expect them to change their behaviour to a more ressourceorientated sustainable one. Among the organisations we expect the network becoming an established discussion place for the matters European Worklive, European Identity and Sustainable Travelling. We expect the transnational cooperation to continue.

In the EDREF-project, overall 9 partners exchanged about the question, which concepts, methods and approaches are offered especially successful and expedient in pedagogical work with refugees in the different institutions. We have learned exciting concepts and approaches and we have recognized, how important the professional exchange – also transnational – is. The core of this project of good exchange have been three project meetings in Munich, Vienna and Stockholm. When planning the project, we were very much concerned to integrate local cooperation partners, volunteers and refugees, because who else could tell better what is needed?As a result, the participating institutions implemented the newly acquired knowledge into their work at home. Here are some examples for the implementation:-Münchner Bildungswerk has been planning and developing the project „Schatzfinder“. This project is designed as follow-up to German language courses and it is organized as guided equal educational offer for the participants. Methodological approach is the concept of study circles – a method, the Swedish partners presented to us.The concept of „Elternchat“, which is carried out successfully in Katholisches Bildungswerk Vorarlberg , will be part of a further training with the project partners from Sweden. In exchange the Swedish partners will offer a further training for the methods of study circles.-During the project period KBW Vorarlberg (Hans Rapp as the chairman of the ARGE Vorarlberg Erwachsenenbildung) organized an excursion of the heads of Vorarlberg´s adult educators to Sweden to study organization, methods and impacts of the study circles in Sweden. The excursion will take place from October 25th to 27th 2017.-KEB RLP is looking for a way to establish study circles especially in basic adult education. They have brought that on the agenda of a conference of adult education leaders in November 2017 with the focus how to find ways to integrate that in the adult education system in Rhineland-Palatinate.Furthermore, we have defined keywords, which for us are especially important when working pedagogically with refugees.-Regarding people with flight background: keywords for us are: simplicity, ease of access, closeness to daily life, resource orientation.-Regarding educators/facilitators etc.: keywords for us are: resource orientation, diversity approach, suitable framework conditionsAs we think that, many of our member institutions have developed offers, which follow these key words, we are inviting them to share these offers with others.More information you will find at the project website at www.edref.eu.Project partners:German institutions:KEB Deutschland, KEB Rheinland-Pfalz, Münchner BildungswerkAustrian institutions:Forum Kath. Erwachsenenbildung, Kath. Bildungswerk Eisenstadt, Kath. Bildungswerk VorarlbergSwedish institutions:Studieförbunden, Folkuniversitetet, Studieförbundet BildaThe project was coordinated by KEB Deutschland.Please contact us for more information: keb@keb-deutschland.de The project website at www.edref.eu will at least be opened until the end of October 2018. Then we will decide upon the further procedure. The texts that were published on the website (meeting reports, questionnaires, keywords) will in any case be accessible after this period through the coordinator of the project.
