Supporting migrant learners and their families
The LLAPSI+ project aims to provide migrant learners in school with further support in basic and functional language learning over and above the teaching that is already provided by the class teachers.
Welcome Course for Families (WCF)
The Migrant Learners’ Unit organised the ‘Welcome Course for Families.’ This course consisted in four sessions of two hours each after school hours and was intended for children and accompanying adults newly arrived in Malta from Ukraine. The course, which was held in centres around Malta ,offered basic skills in English and/or Maltese as a foreign language as well as provided useful information needed for attending the Maltese educational system.
These courses are being offered as part of ‘Language Learning and Parental Support for Integration PLUS - LLAPSI+ (MT/2016/AMIF/4.01) project which is part-financed by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF).
