SUMMARY:

DEVMIGRA seeks to enhance the abilities of both youth workers and first-generation young migrants who have been granted refugee and asylum status. Youth workers, who are cultural mediators and volunteers working in care facilities and migration centers, will receive support to better assist and integrate young migrants into the social fabric of their host countries. Meanwhile, first-generation young migrants between the ages of 18 and 25 will be given the tools to improve their own skills. The project focuses on young people because they are a vulnerable group when migrating to other countries, as highlighted in the report “Migration and Youth: challenges and opportunities” by the Global Migration Group. The migration process can result in the loss of important networks for young migrants, leaving them feeling disoriented and at risk of social exclusion. DEVMIGRA aims to bridge this gap by providing young migrants with the necessary tools and methods to promote their skills and increase their employability opportunities. In addition, the project will enhance the capacities of organizations working with young people outside of formal learning and promote non-formal learning activities targeting young people with fewer opportunities in third countries not involved in the Programme. Overall, the project will contribute to the priority of inclusion and diversity by targeting young people with fewer opportunities, such as first-generation young migrants, and facilitating their integration into society

The specific objective DEVMIGRA wants to achieve are the following:

• To develop specific training contents for youth workers working with migrants, to improve their capabilities in NFE methodologies aimed at promoting to value skills and qualifications of the young migrants.
• To provide young migrants, who have been recognized as refugees and asylum seekers, with the methods to promote their skills and qualifications
