Mitigating Migration Challenges in the Western Balkans: Bridging the Skills Gap for Social Care Providers via Curricula Enhancement and Micro Credential Development

The European Commission, through the Capacity Building in Higher Education program, has approved the WB-Edu4Migration project, which is an initiative that aims to address the limited competencies of social workers in the Western Balkans. The main goal of the project is to improve the competences of students and social workers in the Western Balkan countries, namely Kosovo and Albania, to better support migrant populations. This will be achieved through a multi-dimensional approach that includes educational reforms, the development of digital micro-credential courses, and ongoing capacity building activities.
Our institution will be a partner in this project together with other institutions from Kosovo, Albania, Denmark, Austria, and Italy. AAB College (https://aab-edu.net/en/), from Kosovo, is the coordinator of the project.
