Project description

Our project will unite 26 youth workers from 10 countries through workshops & local visits to
NGOs working with socially excluded minorities to work on migrant’s inclusion and integration
while using nonformal education methodology and digital storytelling. We believe that a project
that unites a consortium of EU Youth Workers working on migration issues with some of them
being “ex-migrants” will permit a well-constructed & productive project where sessions to
develop tools will be enriched by personal experiences rather than assumptions. Also, the use of
digital storytelling will not only help develop tools that will help participants but also help
disseminate and raise awareness on migration related issues. This will help the youth workers
engage their local communities on the migrant’s inclusion subject through their various activities.
The specific objectives of this project are to:
1- Equip 26 youth workers with adequate nonformal education methods and tools that
will facilitate their work with migrants towards social inclusion and integration
2 – Raise the awareness of 26 youth workers about digital storytelling methodology to
enlarge their perception about it and enable them to use digital tools to facilitate the social
inclusion process of youngsters with a migration background.
3 – Create a toolkit that will contain tools and methods that will help youth workers engage
& empower youth with a migration background through the use of digital storytelling.
4- Create a video documentary that shares the success stories of ex-migrants from the
participating countries in order to help break stereotypes linked to migration and also
share good practices related to migrant’s inclusion and integration
As linked to the expected outcomes of KA1(based on the ERASMUS+ Programme), our project will
help:
–
improve competences, linked to youth workers professional profiles (equip the youth
workers with new working tools but also help them share practices that will help them improve
their work with migrants and their inclusion process)
–
permit a broader understanding of practices, policies and systems in education, training
or youth work across countries;(understanting the socio-political realities of migration related
laws and how youth workers can adapt their practices in order to adequately adress migrants’
needs from different perspectives)
–
increase youth workers’ ability to address the needs of the disadvantaged (social
minorities- migrants, NEETS, LGBTQI+, isolated youth, ect.)
  • PROFILE OF PARTICIPANTS
