Over 20 teachers and 30 migrant students joined us in Italy for testing of the ‘Language and culture escape box’. The tool is being developed within Erasmus+ strategic partnerships project aiming at better integraion of immigrants in local communities. It will be used for teaching Dutch, Italian, Norwegian and Polish as a second language and promoting local cultures, religions and traditions. The testing was part of the programme of the Transnational Partners Meeting hosted by CPIA2 Bari-Altamura in its schools in Altamura, Gravina and Alberobello.
Talksin Town App, designed as a language learning resource for immigrants, proved to be a great tool to be used for international students as well as participants of short term mobilities. The app can be sucessfully used during language crash courses or to organize city and field games.
We received positive feedback from the participants who claimed their interest in using the app during orientation weeks, staff weeks and all kinds of conferences, seminars, training sessions and integration meetings.
The project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ program of the European Union.

The mid-project meeting was organized at Eduplius in Siauliai, Lithuania on 23 and 24 May 2019 to review progress and plan the project activities for the rest of the year. The project moves to its next, exciting, phase which is developing the handbook titled „What Design thinking can do for the integration of migrants and refugees”. A template for the book has been tested during a local Design Thinking workshop. The program also included a visit to the DT laboratory, where a mini-workshop with the use of LEGO Serious Play® was held.
