Project Summary

” LEARN – FIND-TELL-ACT ” has engaged young people in active citizenship making them positive actors in favour of the social inclusion of migrants .The changes that migration is bringing about in society and lack or wrong information about the phenomenon brought by incorrect media. This makes the people feel insecure and fear, hence they react and make statements (and at times take action) without a real understanding of migration.
This is one of the biggest causes of lack of social inclusion and this is what our project has been focusing on.
Main objectives of the project were :
-To increase participants’ awareness of power of media in construction of reality, develop more critical and selective approach to media products and use media tools for creating powerful messages, (18 media videos and 20 media awareness photos where created by participants plus a media campaign on instagram and facebook);
-To improve the quality of activities addressing migrant issues and engagement of young people in building more tolerant communities and reflect on new ways of delivering activities that result in improved levels of awareness towards cultural diversity, as well the necessary media skills for better self- and professional development of young people (the participants created professional videos, and photos);
-Develop innovative methods for enhancing digital skills of young people from 6 countries,
-Promote youths’ active citizenship and social entrepreneurship among organizations during 2 years of Project, participants created powerpoint presentation using tools like Pecha Kucha methods and the partnership exchanged knowledge of promoting, marketing and presentation for their organisations.
-Improve youth organizations’ capacity to work for/with migrants and refugees, by visiting refugee centers and working with migrants,
-Provide opportunity on exchanging experience and expertise in the field of youth migrants and refugees among organisations during 2 years of international cooperation,
-Raise awareness about the problems of migrants and refugees, a awareness campain with the participants in Greece was created to create a positive awareness on Migrants, Inclusion and Diversity. The campaign was promoted in Instagram and Fb and concluded with a winning team for the material produced. The total reach of the campaign was over 1000 people which were not involved in the project itself.

The main target group were youth 18-22 , from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. At the same time, the benefits of the project stretch beyond the young people who directly participated in the training, because it provided a platform for expression for migrants and refugees in the participating countries and aim to foster tolerance and solidarity between cultures, empowering young Europeans to be active, participative citizens, which is beneficial to the community at large.

KOM happened in Italy hosted by our partner Tu F1rst Onlus. We could not make the final meeting in UK due to the pandemic.

During the Learning , Teachining , Training activity meetings in Turkey & Greece ,trainings on Digital photography , digital storytelling and online platforms – social media were organized by the experts of partner organizations.After each international training, youth have implemented -peer to peer activities at the local ,in the guidance of youth workers, face to face or via Webinars.They have also followed the bite lessons prepared by these experts.
We believe that the tangible outcomes which are likely to be referenced and used long after funding ceases, generating a long-term impact in participating regions and across Europe. Partners and the general public will be able to use learning platform content freely even beyond the project lifetime .They are as follows :
