Objectives

Due to the inaffective integration of refugees coming from different countries, European solidarity was challenged by increased rise and spread of discrimination and hate speech, refugees seeking safety outside of their countries were suffering from bias and mistreatment. This project was conceived thinking of the young refugee groups that partner organizations work with on a daily basis. The project aimed to create bridges between the migrants and local communities through culture, art and education as well as highlighting Europe’s culture and values, conducive to ensuring a two directions inclusion process in European society. Our objectives were: - Tom empower young refugees, asylum seekers and youngsters with migration background or volunteers interested in building an open European society towards refugees.
