ShowMI: Helping migrants to demonstrate the value of their language skills

What is it about?

ShowMI is a European project funded through the Grundtvig Lifelong Learning Programme which brings together partners from seven European countries: Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, Poland, UK and Switzerland.

The project focuses on the language skills of people with a migrational background living in Europe. It aims to:

  • Enable their language skills to become more visible
  • Enable their language skills to be more effectively used in education and in the labour market
  • Improve the perception and status of migrants within the host country by raising awareness of their linguistic competence.
