Objectives

The main aim of this project is to equip the youth leaders/workers with tools and knowledge on how to be catalysts of integration with the youth that they work with. Thanks to this project they will understand more the difficulties that migrants endure and what makes them leave their home country and also how they as youth workers can help them integrate in their community. The objectives are: -To break down stereotypes that one might have on other cultures. - To help the participants understand what the migrants have to endure to reach their final destination. - To increase knowledge and awareness of the participants on contemporary problems and challenges related to migration, migrants and refugees. - To improve youth organizations’ capacity to work for/with migrants and refugees. - To show youth workers how to encourage intercultural dialogue and building mutual understanding between new arrivals and the receiving communities. - To explore the role(s) of a youth worker in the inclusion process of refugees and (newly arrived) migrants and in the process of raising awareness. - To equip youth workers with effective tools and methods for trainings and activities to learn how to tackle the issue of refugees with native youngsters. - To come up with new tools that could be used for a successful inclusion process within the various partners that would be present in the training course. - To come up with future inclusion partnership ideas between the partners present in the training course. Once the youth workers/leaders understand better what the migrants go through in order to reach better living conditions and also how they can help them integrate, they will be in a better position to facilitate the integration process and also create a dialogue with the local youth. Ultimately there will be a mutual understanding between new arrivals and the receiving communities that will lead to a decrease in racism and xenophobia.
