Good practice No.4 & 5ACCEM is an NGO that develops programmes and projects that respond

to the need to provide counselling, reception, training and social and occupational integration to refugees and immigrants.

Main features:

Immigrants and refugees must begin integrating and adapting themselves to their new social environment from the start.

The majority of these people are young persons from non-Spanish-speaking countries whose integration depends first and foremost on their learning Spanish.

Language learning in the classroom must run parallel to the process of learning in non-formal and informal contexts.

ACCEM not only provides language learning in a formal context (i.e., Spanish classes) but also fosters the non-formal and informal learning of the language through its different programmes and actions.
