OUR AIMS
The aim of this project is the integration of young migrants in Europe, following the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Due to the crises that many young people live in their countries of origin (economic, wars, political conflicts, etc.), many of them are looking for a way out to start a better life. We take action to facilitate the way for all these young people who arrive in a country without knowing anything, so that they can be helped by the local citizens, thus supporting a peer-to- peer methodology.
ACTIVITIES
Each partner brought together a number of refugees and a number of local young people so that they can train them in different topics, and so that they can enrich each other. These encounters took place successively throughout the project duration.
TARGET GROUPS
• local young people from each region
• young migrants living in these regions, coming from ethnic minorities and in difficult situations
• youth and social workers
• teachers and trainers
• educational organisations
• local politicians

UNSERE ZIELE
Ziel dieses Projekts ist die Integration junger Migranten in Europa gemäß der Agenda 2030 für nachhaltige Entwicklung. Aufgrund der Krisen, die viele junge Menschen in ihren Herkunftsländern durchleben (Wirtschaft, Kriege, politische Konflikte etc.), suchen viele von ihnen nach einem Ausweg, um ein besseres Leben zu beginnen. Wir ergreifen Maßnahmen, um all diesen jungen Menschen, die in ein Land kommen, ohne etwas darüber zu wissen, den Weg zu erleichtern, damit ihnen von den Bürgern vor Ort geholfen werden kann, und unterstützen dies durch die Peer-to-Peer-Methode.
AKTIVITÄTEN
Jeder Partner brachte eine Reihe von Flüchtlingen und eine Reihe von einheimischen Jugendlichen zusammen, damit sie sich in verschiedenen Themen informieren und gegenseitig bereichern können. Diese Treffen fanden nach und nach während der Projektzeitlauf statt.

• lokale Jugendlichen aus jeder Region
• jungen Migranten, die in diesen Regionen leben, aus ethnischen Minderheiten stammen und sich in schwierigen Situationen befinden

Sneak preview on the conclusions:
As emerges from various inputs provided by project partners, peer learning can be an important, if not necessary, tool to facilitate the integration and authentic participation of young refugees/migrants in the host country. This is particularly true considering that relationships developed among peers in an era where young people spend increasingly more time within peer groups, compared to more traditional settings, can have a much more direct and impactful influence on them than in the past when the role of tutors or parents was more prevalent in a young person’s education and development. Peer-to-peer learning can also have a positive impact in mitigating perceived power or cultural imbalances that may give rise to discriminatory behaviors and opinions, as it can be a mutually beneficial learning process that fosters understanding, respect, and personal development for all individuals involved (e.g., peer tutors and tutees). However, for peer-to-peer learning to reach its potential, project partners have highlighted a series of prerequisites.
…
Ultimately, pedagogical techniques aim not only to provide refugees/migrants with the opportunity to lead a more active life as members of society but also to share the knowledge they bring from their home country, which can contribute to enriching the cultural wealth of a society, opening up space for the emergence of innovative processes and ideas.
TRAINING AND PEER ACTIVITY MATERIALS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
The training materials for young people come in three batches: R2 is the training of the migrants/newcomers, R3 is the training of the locals – both in preparation for R4 peer activities. As we have found in the piloting, it is crucial to accompany and guide the beginning of the networking towards creative and supportive peer activities so as to assure that the young people have the time to get to know each other and work things out regarding language use. Looking at the piloting results, language can indeed be a decisive factor for network building if not the use translation devices is supported by language learning or a common language.
