    The aim of the PRISMA project was to discuss and exchange promising practices about active strategic inclusion of migrant communities in the decision processes as regards programme planning in adult learning organisations. This has been done between the partner organisations and other institutions and networks in the field - particularly migrant and refugee self organisations and networks - that were incorporated to the partner organisations at regional/national level. The identified good practices has been shared between the partners. Background of the project was that plenty of adult learning institutions across Europe are addressing migrants as beneficiaries. As regards social inclusion of migrant communities, there are still obstacles to be overcome: Migrants are often seen as recipients of education in the fields described above. What is often lacking is a real active participation throughout the portfolio of adult learning activities, like political, social education etc., addressing migrants as both recipients and providers of knowledge. To improve effective adult learning strategies towards migrant communities, it is necessary to actively include migrant communities in the mid and long term development of adult learning programmes. This is crucial for a successful inclusion in the educational field, since particularly in adult education mechanisms to include learners into strategic decisions are rarely applied. Basing on a common understanding about opportunities and limitations in the active strategic inclusion of migrant communities into strategic planning, the project consortium developed a catalogue of criteria to identify good practices in the strategic involvement of migrant communities in adult learning. On the basis of these criteria, the project partners developed a grid for assessing good practices, which has finally been further developed into a self-assessment form for adult learning providers. With the help of this assessment form, adult learning institutions will be able to check their level of active participation of migrants and migrant communities towards the strategic inclusion into programme planning. Besides, the use of the assessment form can foster self-reflection on these issues within organizations, thus contributing to the organizational development. The grid offers an opportunity to a deeper understanding of the organizational stat-of-the-art as regards migrant inclusion in programme planning. Both assessment form and grid have been tested by the partners individually in several local organizations and projects. The tools developed in the project can be downloaded on the project website, on the EPALE resource centre, and on the Erasmus+ project results database.During the project lifetime, the partner organizations met three times in person (in Germany, Lithuania and Cyprus, while due to the pandemic restrictions the last 2 project meetings were held virtually. In the project meetings, representatives from local organisations (migrant organisations and adult learning providers) were involved in order to discuss and contribute to the project outcomes. Further online gatherings between the meetings were held to ensure the quality of the partnership activities.
