The content analysis of the adaptation programme’s training modules and materials, along with the mid-term evaluation of the adaptation programme, focuses on the Integration Foundation’s adaptation programme “Settle in Estonia,” which is targeted at new immigrants and those who have lived here for less than five years.
The objective of the adaptation programme is to support the migration and adaptation process of new immigrants by providing them with knowledge on topics related to the functioning of the Estonian state and society, everyday life, work, studies, and family, and by supporting their Estonian language learning.
Within the framework of the project, the role of IBS is to conduct 1) a content analysis of the trainings and materials for the adaptation modules and 2) a mid-term evaluation of the adaptation programme. These activities involve analysing the content, duration, structure, training materials, and the training provision model of the adaptation programme’s courses. The analysis will result in proposals for updating the adaptation programme. The activities will consider both the target group’s profile and their adaptation barriers and needs within Estonian society. Data collection, analysis, and the formulation of conclusions and recommendations will be guided by the target group’s diversity and specific characteristics.
Research methods used include, among others, document analysis, focus group and individual interviews, and a survey questionnaire, in addition to a co-creation workshop.
