Project Summary

“(i)Migration + action = global reaction” project played a strong role in supporting organizations in development of their capacities in work with (i)migrants. All world is affected by migration, and especially young people, who are one of the most mobile groups and the ones who determine how the future world will look like. For this it’s important that youth workers would be aware of the causes, opportunities and consequences of (i)migration and could support both – young emigrants by creating opportunities and providing support for their empowerment and employability. Youth unemployment forces young people to move out of their country, and in new country they often face problems in getting jobs as they are (i)mmigrants. They lack support in their country of origin and country of destination. The project will developed the capacities of youth workers of participating organizations from Kenya, Dominican Republic and Indonesia and as well in European partners. We trained organizations so they are able to continue their mission in training other organization and developing the work with migrants. This work must be with a double focus. There are different triggers and causes, push and pull factors for migration which affects everyday life on incoming and outgoing immigrants which is important to be realized and dialed with. We focused on 2 main issues – the immigration related issues in connection to refugee crisis, trigger factors, legislative for migrants, sharing know how on work with migrants and second – emigration and youth unemployment, training participating organizations in developing possibilities for employability. The project offered a strong know-how of the main problems, possible solutions, and best practices around Europe. The development of intellectual outputs such as guide and mobile application “MigrantsHelpDesk” offered not only support to organizations working with migration, but also the beneficiary will be (i)migrants. https://migrationhelpdesk.com Mobile application is also active and very much used and it can be download on: on google play store, under name Migration Help Desk. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.extfox.migration&hl=en From other site, Europe is facing migration for a long period and have mechanisms for support. Germany, Bulgaria, Spain, Estonia, Indonesia, Kenya and Dominican Republic are partners in this project. Participants are managers, trainers, facilitators, youth workers, youth organizations and etc. The project had a teaching methodology with a mixture of theoretical content and practical exercises and e-component a mobile application. Learning was based on experience, reflection and group work. The tools participants will share with others, giving and receiving information and laying the foundations for transferability and development.
