Description

Description

The aim of this module is to provide learners with the necessary knowledge of the potential challenges faced by applicants with claims for international protection based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics (SOGIESC). 
This module focuses on the potential needs of applicants with diverse SOGIESC and adopts a sensitive approach. It outlines the main terms and definitions related to the constantly evolving terminology, explores the international and EU legal framework that protects applicants with diverse SOGIESC by focusing on the identification and analysis of the special procedural guarantees and special reception needs, and presents the knowledge and skills needed to create communication which is inclusive, safe and open by exploring the core considerations of working effectively with interpreters in this context.

 

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  1. Explain potential challenges and associated impacts potentially experienced by applicants with diverse SOGIESC in asylum contexts.
  2. Evaluate how the needs of applicants with diverse SOGIESC are addressed in asylum contexts in line with CEAS.
  3. Evaluate the approach of the official in relation to the needs of applicants with diverse SOGIESC.
 
This module is delivered through a blended learning methodology (online, face-to-face and independent learning). Online learning uses learning activities that assess progress toward the learning outcomes and face-to-face sessions focus on complex cases of applicants with diverse SOGIESC that require discussions and work groups.
The assessment strategy is based on one assessment at the end of the module and is designed to be authentic to the job tasks defined in this module.
