Europe is facing a large influx of refugees. In order to integrate successfully, these newcomers must have the opportunity to become full and equal members of society. This is a two way process that involves learning and acceptance on the part of both the host country citizens as well as the new arrivals. In order to facilitate this process, we need trained youth leaders to work in our communities engaging both host citizens and refugees in intercultural dialogue, inclusion activities, acceptance and integration. Our partner organisations will address these issues in a 2-leg Youth Exchange Mobility project in line with EU Youth Strategy tackling the fields of social inclusion, citizenship, acceptance and intercultural dialogue. During the first leg which we will focus on the empowerment of young people / youth peer leaders to act as mentors and counselors for young refugees and youngsters from the local communities and to conduct peer to peer counseling by using a range of non formal techniques. The second leg of this project will focus on the achieving of the overall aim of the project - to unify refugee and non-refugee in working together for a more inclusive society.The main objectives of the Mobility project are:- to motivate young people / youth peer leaders who will work to achieve mutual understanding and cooperation between refugees and local communities- to enhance the prospects of young refugees for employability, inclusion, acceptance- to enhance the cultural flexibility of the local community- to empower young people / youth peer leaders to promote inclusion, inter-cultural dialogue, celebration of diversity, understanding and tolerance in local communities- to introduce Erasmus+ opportunities for development of European level cooperation in designing and implementing effective projects aimed at increasing inclusion, acceptance and inter-cultural dialogue - to explore the concepts of inter-cultural learning, acceptance, inclusion, diversity- to find common ground on a personal, professional and cultural level- to understand the characteristics and challenges of quality youth work involving inclusion and intercultural dialogue/acceptance- to share examples of good practice and project experience in meeting the challenges faced by refugees - to enable participants to develop and lead quality projects- to motivate young people / youth peer leaders to become project multipliers.Participants involved: - For the first leg Youth Exchange 16 young people / youth peer leaders (4 from each participating country) + a group leader from each country will meet in Lithuania: These will be 16 young people / youth peer leaders motivated to promote inclusion, acceptance and inter-cultural dialogue related to refugees as well as promoting integration and active citizenship, motivated to promote participation in grass-root initiatives as a tool to cope with exclusion and intolerance and interested in the issues of transferability of the skills and knowledge they will acquire.- The second leg of the Youth Exchange to be held in Portugal will involve 40 participants, including 16 young people / youth peer leaders who took part in the First leg Youth Exchange, 8 youngsters having a refugee background (2 from each participating country), and 16 young representatives of the local communities from the participating countries (4 from each).The working methods that will be used are: research, interactive presentations, peer education techniques, simulation exercises, role play games, exercises on inclusion techniques, workshops on Project management, best practice on employability, Erasmus+ Programme potential to motivate young people / youth peer leaders to become project multipliers; inspiration visits and meetings with invited experts, youth workers and researchers of different levels.The local communities involved with the key activities of the Mobility project will experience a greater sense of understanding and cohesion through the projects and campaigns that the participants will produce. As a result of the Mobility project we will have a European group of young motivated peer leaders with the necessary skills and competences to promote active citizenship, grass-root initiatives and volunteering to approach youth disenfranchisement and facilitate employment skills, inclusion, and motivation of peers coming from refugee background.We anticipate that we will be able to further spread our findings and knowledge to other youth organisations active with the issues of promoting social inclusion and supporting active citizenship opportunities of young refugees.
