Come in - Time for freedom - Time to be free

Aims & objectives

Given the dramatic images on the screens of international television stations every day, there is no shortage of warnings that speak of a new "Migration Period" in global history and Europe is facing the hugest migration after the World War II. Though, it shows us the EU States are not prepared to such influxes to give urgent solution towards to this issue. In 2014, 170.000 migrants arrived in Italy by sea, a 296% increase compared to 2013. 141,000 of the travellers came through over from Libya.

Most of those young people have to be educated to prevent their marginalization in future and get included in the society. Towards those issues, with parallely to school education, there should be opportunities for young refugees to participate education processes in youth sector. Although, the youth workers are not competent enough to provide educational opportunities in EU and neighbouring countries such Russia and Moldova. With the project, we would like to carry out this project to address the problem of inclusion of refugees in non-formal education context in youth work and create synergies among the participating organizations to future cooperation for the inclusive education methods. Thus, the project proposal aims to strengthen the competences of youth workers and youth leaders in finding proper approaches for fostering the inclusion of refugees and also marginalized young people with migration background.
