Young migrants and refugees
There is a growing understanding of the role that the youth sector has for young refugees and migrants, by contributing to their participation and inclusion through youth work, by supporting their situation through co-operation with different sectors, and by developing a better understanding of the experiences of young refugees and migrants, through youth research.
Since 2016, the Youth Partnership has organised expert seminars and learning workshops with the aim of creating a space for learning about approaches that youth work and youth policy use for supporting the inclusion and participation of young refugees, reaffirming their rights and recognising the good practices.
Activities:
- Bridges to new beginnings: Developing synergies between different sectors supporting the inclusion, human rights and participation of young refugees and migrants (2018)
- Workshops on the role of youth work in the process of inclusion and participation of young refugees (2017)
- "Journeys to a New Life": an expert seminar on the role of youth work in integration of young refugees in Europe (2016)
