Welcoming migrants to the School Museum (WINSOME) is a project that is funded by the European Union Erasmus+ programme (Grant Agreement Number 2022-2-NL01-KA210-ADU-000093428). The general objective of the project is to involve migrants more actively in the society in which they have ended up by offering an educational program in school museums for non-formal groups of migrants that is based on fun and learning about cultural differences and similarities.

The project’s specific objectives are:

To provide migrants with opportunities to learn about the specific situation and language of their host country.
To introduce adult migrants to education as it is practiced in the country where they now reside.
To help migrants feel more connected to their new society.
To increase the involvement and participation of migrants in their host societies.
To promote a more inclusive and engaging approach to migrant integration.
To develop and offer an educational program for adult migrants that will help them find a better place in their host society.

To exchange experiences with another museum that is facing the same challenges as the participating museums.
To share the experiences of the project with a larger group of museums.
To develop new knowledge and skills in the field of educational programming for migrants.
To get to know the group of migrants better and be able to serve them in future projects.
