Project description

Gemeenten in de regio Helmond de Peel – Helmond, Geldrop-Mierlo en Laarbeek, Asten, Deurne, Gemert-Bakel en Someren – delen de ambitie om inburgeraars actief te betrekken bij het versterken van hun lokale aanpak. We ondersteunen deze regio met het opzetten van een gezamenlijke monitoringsaanpak. Dat doen we door eerst de gedeelde ambitie helder in kaart te brengen en deze te koppelen aan het Indicators of Integration-model. Op basis daarvan ontwikkelen we een evaluatiekader dat past bij de regionale context. Vervolgens passen we dit kader toe via een meertalige survey onder inburgeraars, aangevuld met verdiepende sessies volgens onze expertpoolmethodiek, waarin inburgeraars als ervaringsdeskundigen meedenken. Zo ontstaat een rijk en actueel beeld van wat inburgeraars nodig hebben en ervaren, en krijgt de regio handvatten om gericht en samenhangend te blijven werken aan inclusieve inburgering.
