The project is reaching the end of its five-year journey, attaining a substantial accomplishment in the research of socio-educational integration for migrant and refugee children in Europe.
- The IMMERSE 30 socio-educational integration indicators metrics are now accessible to anyone interested through a useful visualization online tool.
- Some of the data that can be extracted using the Dashboard of Indicators: differences in sense of belonging at school between partner countries, or that younger children consider themselves happier than older children do.
Over the past five years, the H2020 IMMERSE project has achieved several significant milestones in its field. Utilizing a co-creation methodology, the project engaged extensively with children, parents, and educators, to define 30 indicators covering both facilitators and barriers to the socio-educational integration of migrant and refugee children. This accomplishment will furnish essential tools for descriptive measurement and monitoring of data, the formulation of public policies, and support for the educational community.
Dashboard of Socio-educational Integration Indicators: An Essential Tool
The IMMERSE Dashboard of Indicators is a data visualization tool allowing basic visual analysis at different levels of disaggregation with the 30 IMMERSE indicators. It is publicly accessible through the IMMERSE website.
Developed using a co-creation methodology, incorporating the voices of migrant and refugee children, their families, and those directly involved with them in schools, NGOs, and policymaking, the Dashboard provides a dynamic performance score for each indicator. This score adjusts based on various filter options selected within the tool, offering users a visually rich comparative perspective on the integration of refugee and migrant children.
Thus, the user can analyse differences in self-perceived foreign language competence, for example, among migrant children in the various European countries studied (Germany, Belgium, Spain, Greece, Ireland, and Italy), and by gender or age.
