IFALL works with integration in different levels. a)Ground Level: several activity groups such as language cafe, homework support, sport days, international evenings. These activities are weekly or monthly and our volunteers are planning and organizing. Target group often is immigrant background people or refugees. b)Intellectual Level: adult education and youth projects in local and international levels (i.e. Erasmus + and Nordplus). In this level youth and adults volunteers became more experienced with projects especially about sharing best practices between project partners. This is a kind of platform for our volunteers that they can prepare activities for ground level. c)Informative Level: seminars, conferences, panels and handbooks for local people, social worker, teacher, volunteers who can follow new information about integration and cultures. Nonformal education and methods are applied for these levels of activity.
