Youth Migration: using Campaigning and Advocacy Tools in the Mediterranean Region about Migration, Asylum, and Refugee Rights.

Aims & objectives

Stimulate intercultural learning, dialogue & diversity
• Learn more about human rights & their potential
contribution to combat expressions and attitudes
of extremism
• Know the history of migration in the EuroMediterranean
and the current situation, reasons
of migration Explore the concepts of freedom of
movement, xenophobia, social exclusion, racism
& hate: its manifestations online and offline
• Understand the impact of xenophobia
& discrimination Raise awareness on the issues
& vulnerability faced by young migrants, asylum
seekers and refugees (YASIR) and develop it through
projects implementation as well as networks in
Mediterranean region;
are seeking political, safety and asylum refuge in Europe,
while the EU is tightening its borders in the Mediterranean,
strengthening agencies such as Frontex. Fatalities increase
as more people cross the borders e.g. 300 out of Malta,
and another 300 in November last year in Lampedusa
while extreme right and anti-immigration laws were on
the rise in most European Countries. With this project we
aim at tackling one of the core issues in the whole EuroMediterranean
region to know how to avoid further deaths
& other catastrophic tragedies, following the horrific
headlines of Lampedusa, Melilla and Malta
• Decrease social exclusion of vulnerable minorities,
decrease their risk of poverty
• Couand relations with immigrants & organisations
through exchange of best practices to counter
discrimination, exclusion & violence to YASIR
• Facilitate exchange of knowledge, analysis of EU
policies & to propose amendments develop strategies
and policy lines for the future as a basis for successful
campaigning on local, national and European level
• Foster partnerships Empower Youth workers and
leaders & youth with fewer opportunities especially
YASIRs with competences, human rights advocacy,
empowerment tools e.g. campaigning, policy
analysis,arts, communication
