According to the United Nations, refugees are people forced to leave their country of origin due to persecution, violence, or conflicts that put their lives and dignity at risk, making them in need of international protection. On the other hand, we refer to migrants as those who change their country of residence, regardless of the reasons, whether temporarily or permanently. In both cases, the reality these people face when they arrive in a new country is not only a geographical change, but also a human, social, and cultural challenge. Our motivation for developing this new project is based on two fundamental pillars: the experience accumulated in recent years by a solid group of European organizations working in social inclusion, and, above all, refugees, who continue to face structural barriers despite the efforts already made. This is the context in which “how to support refu-lives” was born, an initiative that continues our previous social work, but with a renewed focus. Whereas before we focused on highlighting the initial barriers faced by refugees when they arrive in a new country, now we want to go one step further: to provide tools that enable them to move towards true integration. We aim to accompany young Europeans in particular, equipping them with tools to better understand their situation and help refugees from anywhere in the world to integrate. The project will offer them educational resources, digital skills, and tools to facilitate the social integration of refugees through a better understanding of their situation as migrants. Our ultimate goal is not only to facilitate adaptation, but also to generate a positive impact on both young refugees and the host society. We are committed to an inclusive approach, where integration is not understood as a unilateral process, but as an enriching exchange that strengthens the social fabric, fosters empathy, and contributes to the construction of more cohesive and supportive communities. The “how to support refu-lives” project is directly linked to the objectives and strategic priorities of the Erasmus+ program and, in particular, to the Youth Exchanges line. Our previous work already focused on the social inclusion of vulnerable young people, but now we are going one step further to focus specifically on refugee and migrant youth, a group that continues to face significant educational, social, and employment barriers in Europe. Our main objectives are aligned with the priorities of Erasmus+ and Youth Exchanges: Promote inclusion and diversity Prepare young Europeans to be agents of integration in their communities. By empowering young people to help other refugees in host countries. Improving key skills (digital, linguistic, and social), with a focus on non-formal education that complements any formal education they may already have. Fostering intercultural dialogue and active European citizenship by creating spaces where local youth and refugees can learn from each other and build shared community identities. Disseminating good practices among European youth organizations and generating transferable methodologies that can be replicated in other contexts. Connecting youth, civil society, and European institutions, strengthening the international dimension and cooperation between youth organizations. As part of the tangible results, we have developed a handbook of best practices for understanding the life of a refugee and how to help them integrate into their new host country. This handbook will draw on best practices compiled from partner organizations and will be adapted to the reality of 2025-2026. It will be called “More supporting, less refusing.” In addition, the project contributes to the European Youth Goals, especially Goal #3 (Inclusive societies) and #4 (Information and constructive dialogue), encouraging young participants not only to receive support, but also to become agents of change in their communities. The “how to support refu-lives” project will have a significant impact on the young participants both during its development and in the long term, combining intercultural learning, social awareness, and the acquisition of personal and collective skills. It should also be understood that the project participants will be, in the first instance, the same young people who are part of the associations that are carrying out this project. The young people in the consortium will be the ones who can acquire this integration knowledge and then implement it within their associations or their professional and personal environments.
