Annex 4 – Monitoring Report template
Monitoring Report
Programme Name: Supporting Social Inclusion (SSIP)
Programme Operator: Ministry of Culture
Swiss Support Measure Partner: Bern University of Applied Sciences
Reporting Period: The present Monitoring Report covers the period
from the beginning of the Agreement until 31.12.2025.
Overview
Kick-off meetings for joint planning and development have taken place in all components in
2024. These kick-off meetings have shown the need for a general introduction to transcultural
competences as a common basis. Based on this, specific activities have been planned, tailored to
the respective components.
In all components, we started with online workshops. This format enabled a broad participation
at a lower cost and enabled exchange, to have a good basis for a more targeted exchange in more
elaborate study trips or expert exchanges in the following years.
The activities were designed to enable open communication and exchange, rather than one-way
delivery, allowing participants to learn from one another. It is worth mentioning that the
partnership already extends beyond the SSIP, as partners exchange information on publications and
events taking place outside the scope of the programme.
The activities in the components varied in intensity due to the different stages of progress of the
SSIP program.
• In the first component, many online workshops took place, as well as a visit by an expert to
the RARA conference in Estonia.
• In the second component, activities focused on the study trip to Switzerland, which
provided a very enriching exchange for everyone.
• In the third component, there were also online workshops on various topics.
• In the fourth component, there were a few workshops, according to the needs of the
processes of the component’s activities.
It became apparent how different the social systems and education in Estonia and Switzerland are,
making it necessary to clarify basic principles and terms to learn from each other. Getting to know
each other personally face to face (study trip) facilitates exchange and mutual understanding.

Programme Component
1:
Cultural and linguistic integration
Programme Component
Operator:
Ministry of Culture
Summary of the activities
implemented during the
reporting period:
The activities of this component aimed at facilitating the ongoing
work of the Integration Foundation (IF) as well as the National
Library (RaRa) in the domain of cultural and linguistic integration
with online workshops on the specific topics identified together in the
kick-off meeting.
The activities of this component were planned in a kick-off workshop
with Swiss partner and Estonian colleagues and followed by various
workshops on different topics that have been identified in the kick off
meeting. Further, an expert of media literacy participated in the
RARA conference in October in Estonia as a speaker and panelist.
The activities ended with planning a workshop for the Action Plan
2026.
The various online workshops provided a mutual understanding as a
common ground to work more in-depth next year that will be
facilitated by the planed study trip to Switzerland.

Programme Component 2: Strengthening the social- and child protection services
Programme Component
Operator:
Ministry of Social Affairs
Summary of the activities
implemented during the
reporting period:
In this component, a study trip of Estonian experts to Switzerland
took place in May 2025 focusing on seven themes currently relevant
in their work was the main activity:
1. Overall understanding of the child protection system in
Switzerland.
4
2. Curriculum development with a special focus on practical
education of social and care workers to ensure they are
well-prepared for their respective fields.
3. Use of innovative educational tools and methods in
practical training (e.g. virtual reality, one-on-one coaching,
supervision). This thematic block should extend beyond
tertiary education (with students) to include the
ongoing professional further education of practitioners (in
the Swiss context “certificate, master or diploma of
advanced studies – CAS, MAS, DAS”), particularly in the
field of child protection. Additionally, harmonizing child
protection legislation with the relevant training/CAS
curricula should be a key focus here.
4. Developing curricula to equip students and practitioners
with the skills needed to work effectively with diverse user
groups, particularly migrants.
5. Improving access of refugees and migrants to
vocational training and jobs in the social sector (social
work, care work), with a special focus
on professional language immersion (preparation classes,
diploma recognition etc.)
6. Social sector employers and Social Work Associations and
other organisations providing support systems for social
workers (e.g. supervision, peer-led or other supportive
measures) and maintaining as well as monitoring employee
well-being.
7. Self-care in the social sector and its thematization at the
workplace and within the framework of basic training (higher
and vocational education) and further education
(management training).
In alignment with these themes, a study trip to Switzerland took
place for six persons from the SSIP (Ministry of Social Affairs,
Estonian Social Insurance Board and Estonian Social Work
Association) involving various educational and training institutions,
practitioners, and professional associations for a duration of 4 days
(Monday 12th May – Friday 16th May 2025).
The debriefing and evaluation of the study trip highlighted how
different the education systems and child and adult protection
systems are in Switzerland and Estonia. A general introduction is
essential to classify and understand the differences. The trip was
generally considered inspiring and provided helpful ideas and
suggestions for the sector.

Programme Component 3: Increasing multicultural competence in the education sector
Programme Component
Operator:
Ministry of Education and Research
Summary of the activities
implemented during the
reporting period:
In the first kick-off workshop in September 2024, five online
workshops were planned to take place between February and
September 2025 with the aim of accompanying the start of the
program and at the same time introducing stakeholders into the
Swiss context.
The program provided a comprehensive understanding of how
multiculturalism and diversity are addressed across different
educational levels in Switzerland. The structure is thoughtfully
crafted, beginning with essential contextualization and
progressively delving into practical implications and programs. In
September, the experiences from these workshops were reflected
upon and used to develop the action plan for the following year.
The evaluation showed the need to differentiate between the
concepts of multiculturalism and multilingualism and to understand
them in different national and regional contexts. A public workshop
on this topic is planned for 2026.

Programme Component 4: Strengthening civil society through social innovation
Programme Component
Operator:
Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Estonia
Summary of the activities
implemented during the
reporting period:
During the first of year, the programme was focused on developing
a common understanding and definition of "social innovation",
discussing key criteria of "socially innovative" practice especially
within the context of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and
setting up key criteria for the upcoming years with regard
to possible project exchanges, study trips and the forthcoming
manual of the National Foundation of Civil Society (NFCS).
Another key focus of the NFCS is the organisation of Hackathons,
which is thus also a focus topic of the First Action Plan of the
present component.
Therefore, the activities were focused on two workshops:
1) The first workshop involved an exchange on Swiss experiences
in organising Hackathons with experts from the BFH.
2) The second dialogue workshop provided an overview of support
mechanisms provided by state actors to civil society especially
within the context of social innovation. Experts from both Estonia
and Switzerland discussed concepts, criteria, and impact
measurement, and inductively established a common working
definition and criteria for selecting best practices in the upcoming
SSIP years.
8
The two online workshops laid a solid foundation for a shared
understanding of social innovation, which will be further developed
in 2026 through a study trip and visits to relevant projects.

Summary of the
activities
implemented
during the
reporting period:
Please summarize the overall achievements during the reporting period and
cumulatively since the start of the Agreement. Give a brief assessment on
implemented activities.
The management included mainly the administrative support of the online
workshops and the preparation of digital tools like padlet and Miro Board that
were quite helpful for kick off and planning.
The workshops were structured to ensure a balanced combination of input,
reflection, and interactive exchange. Each session began with a presentation by
the Estonian team, providing insights into specific themes, current
developments, and related challenges. The core of the workshop consisted of a
thematic input by Swiss experts, followed by discussion and exchange among
participants. At the end of each workshop, padlet was used to summarise key
lessons learned, address open questions, and generate ideas for further
collaboration and future exchange.
Overall management also included the preparation of the action plans 2025 and
2026, the monitor report, budget and financial report.
