> To give a direct voice to young refugees in shaping policies and practices that affect them
> To address gaps identified in the DiverCity field study across institutional, associative, activity and employment dimensions
> To promote peer-to-peer and community-based approaches to civic integration
> To foster intercultural dialogue, social cohesion and active participation of young refugees in local community life
> To encourage collaboration between public institutions, NGOs, and the private sector in support of young refugees
Description of the tool
This booklet is the result of a participatory co-construction process carried out during spring 2024 within the DiverCity Erasmus+ project. Following the project's field study (March 2024), DiverCity partners organised Round Tables titled "Think together, do better" in France, Greece, Italy, Poland and Spain, gathering 87 participants including young refugees, youth workers, volunteers, and representatives of public authorities. The 20 proposals that emerged are organised into four thematic areas: Institutions (e.g. establishing immigrant councils, improving administrative access, creating grant calls for refugee-led social initiatives), Volunteering (e.g. supporting peer volunteering, safer associative spaces, community-based support networks), Activities (e.g. intercultural picnics, mixed sports teams, afternoon activity programmes), and Work Environment (e.g. mentorship programmes, encouraging local businesses to hire refugees, corporate partnerships). The booklet is addressed to local authorities, NGOs, private companies and youth organisations, and directly reflects the voices of young refugees themselves.
