The objective of the project was to develop indicators and methods for the evaluation of measures of integration of migrants in society and examine comparative data with MIPEX.

The main focus of this project was to evaluate teacher ICT-related professional development and to examine the magnitude of integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in learning. The evaluation team assessed the effectiveness of teacher training, quality of material and the extent and value of integrating ICT in the learning process based on in-depth case studies of classrooms and teachers.

The Cyprus Information Guide was developed to provides general information on Cyprus and is addressed to new migrants coming in the country. It is envisioned to have positive impact on the integration process of the migrants and help them learn basic aspects of local culture and history. The Guide will help migrants to understand their rights and responsibilities and identify opportunities for employment, access to education, health care, social security and increase their civic engagement.
