The SIMPLE project has launched its online Capacity Building Programme and self-assessment tools, now freely available through the SIMPLE Digital Toolkit. Developed as a core component of the project’s Capacity Building Strategy, these resources aim to strengthen the capacity of organisations working with migrants and refugees to implement and replicate the SIMPLE model in their local contexts.

Although the Capacity Building Strategy is still being finalised, the training programme has been published early to allow its validation during the final phase of the project. Through the final round of dissemination and knowledge exchange activities, project partners will keep on engaging stakeholders from across Europe to test the training materials and self-assessment tools, providing feedback that will contribute to the final version of the Strategy.

The training programme translates the knowledge generated throughout the project, including the pilot activities in Italy and Poland and stakeholder consultations, into practical learning resources that organisations can immediately apply.

The programme consists of four online modules:

• Understanding and Replicating the SIMPLE Model– introducing the project’s Theory of Change and implementation pathways.
• Building Collaboration and Local Ecosystems– supporting organisations in developing effective multi-stakeholder partnerships.
• Engaging Employers and Supporting Economic Integration– providing practical guidance on involving the private sector in integration pathways.
• Designing Inclusive and Effective Integration Actions– helping organisations develop accessible, responsive and user-centred services.
