This project addressed a need of European communities to help young people from refugees and migrant background to tackle socio-economic issues and promote social equity and inclusion.
This project filled a gap in competences of youth workers from the European organisations, with special focus on project management and involvement hard-to-reach groups of migrants and refugees into integration related activities.
Amber Initiatives are working with migrants communities for 11 years, gained knowledge and expertise in migration related issues.
In this project we shared our experience with our European colleagues, helped them to develop proper strategy and service provision as well as organise projects for young people from migrants background to help them to enjoy equal opportunities and be involved in meaningful activity.
The project is in line with the European Commission's agenda on migration which points that EU countries and institutions, international organisations, civil society, local authorities and national partners should work together to tackle common issues.
The Job shadowing project involved 3 youth workers from Programme and Partner countries ( Turkey, Romania and Belarus).
They represented the following organisations:
Duration of activity stages are 8 days for each participant.
The programme is logically divided into 5 parts each of which focuses on particular area of migration, youth work and features of hard-to-reach groups..
The project was based on non-formal and informal education.
Work individually and in pair, team building exercises, problem-solving tasks, simulation exercises, brainstorms, presentations, round table discussion, video/DVD watching, sessions for evaluation and reflection, etc. were used throughout the project to ensure the participants have an opportunity to express themselves freely and to achieve maximum results in the learning process.
The project is in line with Erasmus+ aims and objectives such as improving competences of youth workers, linked to their professional profile, promoting cultural awareness, increasing of capacity, attractiveness and international dimension of organisations active in the youth field.
The project helped the organisations from Programme and Partner countries to build network and cooperation for future projects.
As result of this project, the organisations/groups involved are able to take active part in Erasmus+ programme and deliver the youth projects for their target groups ( migrants and refugees ) with high standard of management.
Amber Initiatives gained extensive experience in organisation of different projects (training, youth exchanges, job shadowing) in the frame of Youth in Action/Erasmus+. We have more than 70 partners in EU countries and are working on local, regional and international level.
Sharing our experience with our colleagues, which have no experience working with migrants will benefit them and increase their capacity and will prepare them for local and international activity.
