In sub-project III of the MIRASTO project, she is responsible for coordinating and integrating academic research and practical experience by linking the research findings of sub-projects I and II (carried out by Goethe University Frankfurt) with the perspectives of migrant self-organisations in practice.

Selma Gleißberg studied General Educational Science as well as Intercultural Communication and Education at the University of Duisburg-Essen and the University of Cologne. She subsequently worked as an advisor on online hate speech and collaborated with (migrant) non-profit organisations to develop strategies to protect their staff and (online) communities from attacks both online and in the real world.

Before studying General Educational Science, she completed training as a state-recognised early years educator and worked for several years in residential youth and family support services.

Her main areas of focus are education that is sensitive to issues of discrimination and diversity, participatory adult education and further education, as well as issues of social inequality and structural power dynamics.

The "MIRASTO" project is investigating the importance of further education in pedagogical fields for new immigrants

Brief description and objectives

“MIRASTO – Migrant Self-Help Organisations and Social Pedagogical Further Education” is a joint project between Goethe University Frankfurt, University of Oldenburg and organisations representing migrant self-help groups (MSOs). MSOs are key partners and stakeholders in institutional education within pedagogical fields of action. By incorporating their perspectives and those of their participants, participatory processes can be promoted and content developed to raise awareness of gaps in perception within institutional structures of further education and counselling.

Sub-project 3 at the University of Oldenburg aims to strengthen and highlight the importance of MSOs as key players in institutional (continuing) education within pedagogical fields of action. In a further step, their collaborative relationships with universities, public bodies and continuing education providers will be examined. Together with the MSOs, processes will be developed to support the individual professional and social participation of people with a migrant background. In addition, (structural) barriers to professional participation in educational fields will be critically examined.

Description of the project’s work at C3L

Together with the MSOs and their service users, content is being developed for a diversity-conscious series of training courses for specialist staff in the social and educational sectors, as well as for educational advisers and education officers in adult education. Drawing on the practical expertise of (migrant) further education providers and people with migration and refugee backgrounds, training and learning modules will be developed at the University of Oldenburg. These will be developed in a dialogue-based workshop format with various providers of adult education and educational guidance, incorporating the long-standing experience of the Centre for Lifelong Learning (C3L) and the Centre for Migration, Education and Cultural Studies (CMC), as well as the research findings of our partner university in Frankfurt.

An additional documentary film will portray the diverse life stories of selected graduates. Key insights from this film will be integrated into the training modules.

Target audience

This diversity-focused training programme is aimed at professionals in the social and educational sectors, as well as educational advisers and education officers.
