Fostering Social Inclusion of People in Situations of Vulnerability: Experiences from the Italian and Portuguese Contexts

This chapter builds upon the findings of two multiplier events carried out in Italy and Portugal. They involved education professionals such as teachers, educators and other experts working with adults in situations of vulnerability (migrants, refugees and people at risk of poverty or social exclusion). The goal of the chapter is to analyse challenges and obstacles for professionals in promoting social inclusion for the selected target groups and to present best practices with a focus on digital technologies. The last section explores teachers’ and professionals’ training needs and the supporting actions for their continuing professional development at a local and national level.
