Beeing different in Europe: how to avoid a "lost generation"? The challenges of social inclusion.
Date du début: 1 sept. 2015, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2016 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

Through this project, we want to create new resources for youth workers and other people working with young migrants, in order to contribute to their better inclusion in society. Seen as the new minorities in Europe, intra-EU migrants move around with their specific problems, both in the countries of destination and countries of origin, where migrants are often remigrating. What does their mobility mean for youth work? How can youth workers contribute to a better inclusion of the intra-European migrants in society? The project consists of three activities: a start seminar, a training and an evaluation meeting. All activities focus on achieving a concrete goal at the end, as a result of the learning outcomes and daily experience exchanges. The start-up seminar will put together a Top 10 list of most commonly encountered problems in working with migrants and an Action Plan for the following activities of the project. The training aims at creating a role-play. The evaluation seminar will sum-up the outcome of the project in an on-line document (booklet) comprising the non-formal learning experiences on the inclusion of young European migrants and its direct consequences for youth work. By developing new tools, participants will give a concrete shape to their learning outcomes. All three activities will take place in The Hague and will be attended by participants from Norway, Romania, Poland and The Netherlands. The start-up seminar will be organised between 2 and 7 October 2015. It will be attended by 22 participants. The training will take place between 4 and 11 December 2015 and it will be attended by 24 participants. The evaluation semniar is planned during 5 and 10 March 2016 and will be attended by 22 participants. Participants will be people working with youngsters during non-formal educational process and outside school activities: youth workers connected to the schools, teachers or other school staff, counsellors, project managers, local youth policy-makers, social workers and other people involved or interested in projects working with young migrants/remigrants. Presentations of real experiences and debates with a practical perspective will be used regularly. They will be complemented by documentation and concrete tasks achieved in advance, which will offer diverse sources of information for gaining more in-depth knowledge and skills on the topic of young migrants inclusion. All the activities and methods used during the programme are in line with the process of non-formal education. Every activity of the project is based on the learning-by-doing principle, finding links to concrete life experiences and stimulating participants to contribute to the discussions with their personal opinions, knowledge and imagination. This way, participants will stay actively involved, will communicate and exchange opinions with each other, working in groups or reaching common conclusions. They will have to apply in practice the lessons learnt and they will be asked to reflect and give feed-back at the end of each day. Participants will start from a rather elementary level regarding the topic of social inclusion. By discussing this locally and internationally and by sharing results, methods, good practises and analyses of interviews and research they have made, their grasp on this topic will become more profound and thorough. It will also give them insight on the differences in the participating countries regarding this topic and make it possible to come to common conclusions, new resources and develop a European vision. By joining the programme activities, participants will become aware of the problems the young Europeans might face when they go to another country (be it for study, work, reunite with the family), and what are the direct consequences for youth work. They will improve their knowledge on issues such as social inclusion/exclusion, marginalisation, discrimination, new wave of migration/remigration within the European space. They will learn from each other experieces, will share good practices, gain new skills in working with young migrants and will develop new tools (summing-up main problems encountered in youth work with migrants during the start-up seminar, create a role-play during the training or gather all the conclusions for a common document during the evaluation seminar). With their acquiered competencties, we expect participants to bring their small contribution to a better social inclusion of young migrants. We hope the final document will give more insight on the topic of migration of youngsters within Europe and will help youth workers in their future activities. It will contain useful resources and advice on how to achieve social inclusion, guidelines and tools for a better integration of young migrants, in order to prevent them turn into a "lost generation". The project will also look at the possibilities of further developing the subject in Erasmus+ context.
