24/06-01/07/2018 - Εκπαιδευτικό Πρόγραμμα | Second Stop for Effective Inclusion (Αρμενία)

Migration is one of the major social, economic and political issues of the contemporary societies and is challenge both for migrants and for the hosting communities. Newcomers are people who were proud yesterday of their homes, position in a society, very often they are well educated, but they are refugees, migrants or asylum-seekers now. We see that youth organizations and young people can be the key problem-solvers through their daily work to find and integrate newcomers. If organizations are not inclusive, the other layers of society can easily exclude all “newcomers” as well. In addition, the awareness level on the possibilities and ways of social help is low.

We understand the importance of solving the situation through NGOs and youth organizations to work with newcomers, help them with their problems in the host country. Here we consider the newcomer’s entrance, administrative relations with governmental, local authorities, police and legal bodies as the first stop. After this stage, at the SECOND STOP taking into account the cultural differences, the newcomer can get isolated from the society if there is no any youth work for inclusion. The third stop is the newcomers’ final “integration” and becoming citizen. Reaching to this stage a newcomer can remain not integrated into the host society and not become an active citizen.

The main aim of the project is to equip young people with tools which increase the competences to find, direct and integrate young newcomers.
