About the Project

VOICE supports the social inclusion and professional integration of Ukrainian refugees living in European Union countries. The project promotes vocational upskilling and reskilling, helping participants develop the knowledge and competences needed to access education, employment, and entrepreneurship opportunities.

Through an innovative e-learning platform, VOICE provides high-quality training resources focused on employability, digital entrepreneurship, digital skills, soft skills, and social innovation. The project builds on the successful results of previous Erasmus+ initiatives by adapting and updating proven training materials to meet the current needs of Ukrainian refugees and host communities.

VOICE also promotes collaboration and intercultural dialogue by piloting training activities with mixed groups of participants, encouraging integration, active participation, and mutual learning. Continuous evaluation and impact assessment ensure that the project's resources are practical, relevant, and sustainable, contributing to stronger, more inclusive, and resilient European communities.
