From training to action: how the Pillars of Power method is strengthening migrant empowerment in Europe

DOWNLOADABLES:

Following the “Training the Trainers” activities held in Valencia and Rome, the project is now entering the central phase of operational implementation of the skills acquired in real-life contexts. This is a strategic step, in which the
knowledge developed is transferred from those responsible for training to frontline staff, and subsequently from them to migrant people in the partner countries. This activity is promoted within the framework of the MISUP project
(Strengthening Migrant Supporting Communities), an innovative European initiative aimed at strengthening more inclusive and resilient communities, capable of supporting and promoting the empowerment of migrant people
across Europe.
In previous interviews, professionals such as Arianna Pace and Liekje Welten shared the value of the training experience and of the Pillars of Power method. Today we take a further step: from training to action, observing how
these tools are being concretely applied in local contexts. In Italy, organisations such as the social cooperatives Magliana ‘80 and FOLIAS — both involved in the training activities as MSOs (Migrant Support Organisations), which in addition
to participating in the training also ensure participation in key project activities and dissemination of results — are currently testing and adapting the methodologies developed within MISUP. This phase represents a concrete moment of application, in which knowledge becomes practice and generates impact.
