Workplaces Working with Migrant Women

In Portugal, supporting the integration of migrant women into the labor market.

The “Workplaces Working with Migrant Women” initiative, carried out by Workplaces and EDP, with the support of other entities, aims to support the integration of migrant women in the labor market, using Portuguese language teaching.

Language as an integration tool

EDP joined Workplaces in supporting the “Workplaces Working with Migrant Women” initiative, which runs from May 2022 to May 2023, with the aim of boosting Portuguese language teaching to migrant women in Portugal, who generally have low qualifications and fewer job opportunities and, consequently, fewer opportunities for integration.

 

Operation of the initiative

EDP, together with three social sector entities - ACM, Lisbon Project, JRS - and four companies - Portugália, El Corte Inglés, Grupo Lusiaves and SONAE -, brought together volunteer collaborators (buddies) and migrant women for a one-year language teaching learning experience and social and cultural skills.

The buddies will teach Portuguese to migrant women, using the materials (content, games and exercises) provided by SPEAK.

 

Worldplaces

Worldplaces is a European network, co-financed by the European Fund for Asylum, Migration and Integration, which has been developed by a consortium of seven partners, including SPEAK in Portugal. It is a startup that promotes and innovative methodology to combat isolation and promote the creation of support networks through the learning of a new language.

  • Training and leadership

  • Language and culture
  • Identity and self-confidence
