28–30 January 2026 | Brussels, Belgium
The E-LOCUM Final Event is a three-day international youth festival bringing together young people, youth workers, organisations and policy stakeholders to explore migration, inclusion and social change through dialogue, creativity and shared experiences
The conference in Brussels marks the concluding phase of the project and will serve both as a moment of reflection on the work accomplished and as a platform to stimulate further dialogue and collaboration. Participants will be invited to reflect on the power of stories and collective imaginaries in shaping public opinion, policy choices and everyday attitudes toward migration, and to explore how more constructive and inclusive approaches can be fostered.
At the heart of the discussion will be the role of young people as key actors in driving change. Through an interactive and participatory dialogue, the conference will highlight how youth can challenge prevailing narratives, bring forward innovative perspectives and contribute to more forward-looking and inclusive approaches to migration policy across Europe.
