Youth.Together: Youth work for social inclusion of refugees

From 21 to 29 November 2019, an evaluation seminar of the long-term training course Youth-Together was held at the European Youth Centre in Budapest. The seminar reviewed and evaluated the projects of the participating youth workers and refugees in the course. A total of 32 projects on social inclusion of young refugees were implemented through the course, reaching out to some 1500 young refugees, including many in transition to adulthood. Projects ranged from local school initiatives to complex international events, including intercultural meetings, peer-to peer learning, training activities, photo exhibitions and sports activities. The Youth.Together project highlighted the important role that youth work plays for the social inclusion of young refugees by restoring dignity, self-confidence and developing civic and social skills. Key to the success of projects is the possibility for young refugees to interact with local young people, as recognised in the Committee of Ministers Recommendation CM/Rec(2019)4 on supporting young refugees in transition to adulthood. Youth.Together was made possible thanks to a Voluntary Contribution from Flanders (Belgium).
