The Strength through Diversity project combines in-depth data analysis and
indicator development with thematic workshops and country reports of
policies and practices

![Page 13: Strength through Diversity](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022723/621ac03c64cff54deb2c4e07/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Resilience and a whole child perspective
• Academic – reaching PISA level 2 in reading, mathematics and science
• Social – reporting feelings of belonging at school
• Emotional – reporting high satisfaction with life and low school-work related anxiety
• Motivational – reporting high motivation to achieve
![Page 14: Strength through Diversity](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022723/621ac03c64cff54deb2c4e07/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

The Labour Market and Well-being Outcomes of Foreign-born Adults
• Focus on labour market and broader well-being outcomes
• Key barriers to skill development, economic and social integration considered: – language proficiency
– access and participation in adult education and training
– job placement and skills mismatch
• Specific focus on highly-skilled and low-performance migrants
• Specific focus on young migrants
• Key data source: PIAAC
![Page 16: Strength through Diversity](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022723/621ac03c64cff54deb2c4e07/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Education for Resilient Societies
• The relationship between education and self-reported interpersonal trust, with a specific focus on the role of cognitive skills
• The relationship between education and attitudes towards migration
• Migrants’ own attitudes and dispositions
• Students’ civic knowledge and openness to diversity
