RefLeX
Professionalization in adult education concerning refugee experiences and learning disabilities
The Erasmus+ project RefLeX aims to support adult educators in teaching adults with refugee experiences and different learning disorders. People with refugee backgrounds usually face not only the difficulty of finding their feet in an unfamiliar country, but also have often had traumatic experiences during their flight. This makes it all the more important for adult education in the receiving country to address these experiences and any psychological stress, as well as individual learning histories and disorders and the impact of these factors on learning itself.
Successful integration
Our mission
Providing background information on teaching
people with refugee experience and learning difficulties
Creation of a train-the-trainer course
for adult educators on these topics
Development of a toolbox with
practical exercises for teaching
Promoting integration through
needs-oriented education
Project results
This booklet contains background information on migration, refugee experiences and further education for people with various learning journeys and difficulties.
Based on the booklet, a course for the training of adult educators was developed. This course includes information and practical tips on teaching people with a refugee or migrant background, mental stress and learning difficulties.
This toolbox contains guidelines and practical exercises that adult educators can carry out together with their learners with refugee or migrant histories and learning difficulties.

Project implementation
How do we actually carry out the project? In a first step, based on literature research and interactions with adult educators and affected learners, we are creating a booklet with background information on migration, flight experiences and further education for people with various learning journeys and difficulties.
Building on this, digital learning content for adult educators will be developed. The information and practical tips contained therein are intended to facilitate the future planning and implementation of further education programmes for people with refugee experiences and specific learning disorders.
In addition, a toolbox with practical guides and exercises on topics such as learning motivation, concentration and multisensory learning will be compiled. Adult educators can use these exercises directly in their courses, and they are designed to develop learners' skills based on a playful approach.
In short: With this project, we want to contribute to integrative and needs-oriented adult education.
