With this project, "YAMA ETRE 5: Taking Action!", our initial goal was to offer young people an opportunity to engage in discussions and reflect together on major issues facing contemporary society: mental health, the environment, migration, and living together. Unfortunately, there continues to be a real lack of understanding regarding migrants and displaced persons in Europe. Given the number of refugees and displaced people worldwide, it is essential that Europeans gain a better understanding of these issues to facilitate their integration in Europe, especially for young people, which aligns with the EU's youth strategy. Furthermore, too many young people, whether exiled or European citizens, are "not in employment, education, or training" (NEET) or have fewer opportunities (JAMO). According to a study by INSEE at the end of 2024, in France, excluding Mayotte, 12.8% of young people aged 15 to 29 are considered NEET. Young exiled people are just as affected by the NEET status but are equally capable of developing their skills through improved language proficiency and a sense of belonging to a group that is uplifted by peer support and internal mentoring. This is especially relevant since the French Asylum and Immigration Law stipulates that to control immigration, integration must be improved. Thus, the first objective of the project is to foster intercultural dialogue and prevent social exclusion, promoting social inclusion. It is essential to emphasize learning and mastering the French language, respecting the principles of the Republic, and integrating foreigners. In addition, according to the report "Key Figures on Youth 2024" published by the National Institute for Youth and Popular Education (INJEP), 32% of young people aged 16 to 29 state that they cannot afford to go on a one-week vacation away from home each year for financial reasons. Youth engagement is a real challenge in our societies in Europe, as it does not seem to be adequately addressed, particularly due to issues of representation, intergenerational relations, adaptation to new forms of engagement, and so on. Several studies demonstrate the contribution of youth engagement to democratic decision-making, social cohesion, individual well-being, and community development. The second objective addresses the inclusion and diversity of young people in order to improve this youth engagement. In 2021, the "YAMA ETRE" project was initiated by two long-standing partner associations, YAKA and MADERA, which work respectively on empowering young people and exiled individuals (asylum seekers, refugees, foreign students, and recent arrivals). The YAMA project was born in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. Since 2021, the project has continued to address persistent social needs, exacerbated by significant inflation since 2022, ongoing inequalities, and misunderstandings between people. During the COVID-19 pandemic, young people experienced increased isolation, a loss of confidence, and restricted social and professional opportunities. The third objective is to address, through equal opportunities, the social isolation of young people, including NEETs (young people not in education, employment, or training) and young refugees, who often experience a combination of these social and economic vulnerabilities. Through the 5th edition of this YAMA ETRE project, we aimed to demonstrate that social diversity and the creation of social dialogue between young Europeans and young refugees are key to a healthy society in Europe. Due to language barriers, geographical distance, or social distance, young people from different social backgrounds or different countries rarely interact. Furthermore, young people from disadvantaged social backgrounds, including young refugees, are the first to be impacted by the various scourges of our societies in terms of unequal opportunities, poverty, and exclusion. In summary, with this YAMA ETRE 5 intercultural exchange and mobility project, we aimed to address the following three objectives: 1) To enable young French, German, and Belgian people, including those who are NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) and JAMO (Jobseekers, Apprentices, and those in Vocational Training), half of whom are young people who are refugees or migrants, to have their first experience of mobility and intercultural exchange during a holiday break and to get to know each other better in order to create greater social cohesion in Europe. 2) To promote the civic engagement of these young people, their intellectual and personal development, cultural discoveries, and social interaction between young people from different backgrounds and cultures in Europe, and to improve dialogue, active citizenship, and self-awareness. 3) To empower these young people and enable them to rethink their world differently
