Welcome and Introduction

Dear user, welcome to the Training KIT for Trainers of the Project IBM-MORE (Intercultural Business Mediator). IBM MORE - is an Erasmus+ project
for Development of VET Innovation, implemented between September 2019 and August 2021. The project was conducted by a consortium of four part-
ners from four European countries:

PARTNER COUNTRY ORGANISATION

P1 Belgium Les Monde des Possibles Les Monde des Possibles

P2 Austria KIST KIST CONSULT – MMag. Ingrid Trenner

P3 Norway MIA Stiftelsen Mangfold i arbeidslivet

P4 Spain INFODEF Instituto para el fomento del desarrollo y la formación S.L

The overall aim of the IBM-MORE project is to meet the educational needs of migrants motivated to become entrepreneurs by providing a qualified train-
ing support through an innovative digital APPs learning. The IBM-MORE project supports VET teachers and trainers with innovative tools and methods to
stimulate the innovation, digital, intercultural and entrepreneurship competencies of VET learners through APPs-based learning.

This includes a pedagogical handbook for transferability in a European context. Our project explores a wider understanding of refugee integration as a
means of participatory community development in the Social and Solidarity Economy. Capacity-building in the receiving communities is not merely a pool-
ing of professional knowledge and resources, but an empowerment of the whole receiving community and third-country nationals to build a strong com-
munity, that considers both, the needs of newcomers and of locals.

The Focus of IBM-MORE Training

This Training Manual will help you to conduct the training. It provides you a brief overview of the project and its explanation of the way of increasing the knowledge, skills
and competences of the trainees for developing the 5 European key competencies (Entrepreneurship, Digital, Mathematical, Intercultural and foreign Language) of Mi-
grants for economic integration through enhancement of knowledge skills and competences for founding a business-start up.

In the scope of the IBM-MORE project this document is the part of a set of interlinked documents that establish the IBM MORE - Training KIT:

1) IBM MORE Curriculum – containing the conceptual approach, EU framework and Learning Units organized in learning outcomes.
2) Trainers KIT – containing the pedagogical approach, learning contents and tips for implementation of the training courses.
3) Trainees KIT – containing practical tips to support the learning process and preparation for examination.

An IBM-MORE trainer must exhibit the following core competences:

• Intercultural competence: the ability to interact with individuals and groups from other cultures successfully and appropriately.
• Entrepreneurial competence: the ability to convert an idea into a business start-up within the established economic and legal framework.
• Emotional competence: the basis for successful intercultural communication is emotional skills and cultural sensitivity.
• Digital competence: the ability to use internet, e-Learning tools and use multimedia facilities.
• Social competence: includes personal skills and attitudes that will support social interaction in culturally diverse groups.

The Learning and Testing Concept
IBM MORE focuses on new way of learning for migrants which means a change of teaching from teacher centered chalk and talk to student centered
online learning. This is supported by available learning technologies which enable pedagogical strategies resulting in a blended solution. For migrants
IBM- MORE provides a mix of classroom interactions and e-learning.

An important aspect of the IBM MORE strategy is the focus on the self-directed learning, as demonstrated by the two IBM MORE videos. These videos
are available in 5 languages and introduce the learning apps concept.

Aim of IBM-MORE Training

“IBM More Business Mediator” digital training platform was developed to train the migrants in key European competences for becoming a successful
business start-up in the country of residence. The training content’s framework was developed based on critical factors for self-employment and existing
skills gaps in all migrants, identified through a comparative analysis in all partner countries. The IBM MORE-Training aims to foster the acquisition of key
competences of Migrants including the following:

• To support the learning needs of migrants for cultural effectiveness and economic integration in the business context
• To make learning more accessible and learner-centric by means of online – training via apps
• To value the importance of European business regulations and harness it for effective business start up in a national framework
• To strengthen information, guidance and counselling services at European level
• To validate learning about European business practices for Migrants to improve chances of their economic success
• To offer an examination and certificate, based on similar quality standards across all partner countries

An important aspect is to train intercultural business mediators who bridge the knowledge gap of migrant entrepreneurs by connecting them
with the experience of native business set ups and ensuring an optimum match between potential opportunities and available resources.

Workshop - learning activities/units/training hours:

The time proposed is indicative and the actual time required may vary.

• The workshop with the trainer is the blended learning part and is structured in 3,5 hours of training.
• The entire workshop process is summarized through a set of activities, which necessitate an active engagement of each participant in
collaborative learning by doing. That is a conscious strategy to shift from the cognitive to experiential.
• The pedagogical processes of the workshop are based upon reflection, appreciative inquiry, bared dialogues, collaborative and active
engagement. The highlight of peer-group-learning is the sharing of real-life experiences and individual success stories that motivate and
enhance team performance. Innovation and creation are lived and experienced during all workshop sessions.
• It is a learning journey of self-directed discovery and commitment for Lifelong learning.

1. IBM MORE – Training, EQF and Certification
Being one of the main aims of IBM MORE project to reach an equal standard of qualifications in the intercultural and inclusion area, to promote the mobility of persons
and thus promotes an European mobility area for VET learning, IBM MORE Curriculum was developed using a Learning Outcomes Approach and based on EU frameworks
such as EQF and ECVET.
Based on the complexity, range and the level of learning expected from trainees, IBM MORE Qualification descriptor was settled (at least) at the European Qualification
Framework (EQF) Level 3 and EQF-level for languages: A2 allowing thus, depending on each country needs, the further development into a higher qualification level:
The European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) is the new European instrument to promote mutual trust and mobility in vocational education
and training.

The European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training (‘ECVET’) is intended to facilitate the transfer, recognition and accumulation of assessed learning outcomes of in-
dividuals who are aiming to achieve a qualification. This will improve the general understanding of citizens’ learning outcomes and their transparency, transnational mobility and
portability across and, where appropriate, within Member States in a borderless lifelong learning area, and will also improve the mobility and portability of qualifications at the
national level between various sectors of the economy and within the labor market.

Recommendation of the European Parliament and the Council (ECVET Recommendation) 4


http://www.ecvet-projects.eu/Documents/ECVET_Lifelong_Learning_LLL_Final_Web_ISBN.pdf

ECVET is based on concepts and processes which are used in a systematic way to establish a common and user-friendly language for transparency, transfer and recogni-
tion of learning outcomes. Some of these concepts and processes are already embedded in many qualifications systems across Europe. ECVET is based on:

• Learning outcomes, which are statements of knowledge, skills and competence that can be achieved in a variety of learning contexts.
• Units of learning outcomes that are components of qualifications. Units can be assessed, validated and recognised.
• ECVET points, which provide additional information about units and qualifications in a numerical form.
• Credit that is given for assessed and documented learning outcomes of a learner. Credit can be transferred to other contexts and accumulated to
achieve a qualification on the basis of the qualifications standards and regulations existing in the participating countries.
• Mutual trust and partnership among participating organisations. These are expressed in Memoranda of Understanding and Learning Agreements.

1.1. EQF: European Qualification Framework - common reference levels for languages
The Common European Framework divides learners into three broad divisions that can be divided into six levels; for each level, it describes what a learner is supposed to be able to do in reading, listening, speaking and writing. These levels
are: These descriptors can apply to any of the languages spoken in Europe, and there are translations in many languages.
