Objectives

"Re-framing narratives about people on the move" is a project that aims to bring together young people, interested in learning about migration, using digital tools, that is, an online campaign and a digital booklet as the final products of 8 days of activities. The main idea and goals of the project were for young people to take concrete actions in relation to this topic, which is current all over the world and which we all face every day. What we wanted to achieve was not only a discussion and conversation about migration and people on the move, but also getting to know them. Getting to know people in the movement and learning about an adequate approach to them, we wanted to change the public narrative in the countries participating in the project, but also wider. Together, we tried to encourage each other and delve deeply into the topic in order to understand as much as possible the real stories of people on the move, which are diverse and difficult. Discrimination and marginalisation of this group and general targeting of people on the move is a problem that the project has shown that we all face to some extent. Participating countries are at the centre of events and the Balkan route is quite critical in every respect, both for people on the move and for the local population. The youth exchange gathered 40 young participants from 8 European countries, each of whom has a connection with the topic, in order to exchange knowledge and experience and learn new methods of non-formal education, as well to work with digital tools, gather digital and media literacy skills, and apply the acquired knowledge in a way to promote a positive narrative and provide support to people on the move. Specific objectives of project was: - Built a community of practice on narrative change thinking and provided a safe and supportive environment to allow for the growth of NGO's in the area. -To gain knowledge and skills for youth about migration and situation in Europe nowadays, by using peer to peer activities and different methods of non-formal education -To involve young people from Europe to stand out in their communities with the topic about migration -To empower young people who will participate in this project to investigate their communities and identify public and social narratives about people who are faced with migration nowadays - According to investigation, to teach participants how to create and run digital online campaign (using digital tools), in order to promote digital positive narratives referring to migration and people on move -To promote New Programme for period 2021 - 2027 and opportunities which this program is providing. The project helped participants to plan their actions, develop and run campaigns designed to counter anti-migration narratives and help put diversity and inclusion back on the agenda.
