3 Specific objectives shall allow to meet it:
The general objective of the project is to empower young people along the Balkan route to foster a narrative on migration consistent with the EU values of unity, solidarity and non-discrimination.
Youth migration awareness
Increasing youth awareness on the many aspects of migration
Engagement in inclusion
Enhancing youth engagement on migrants’ inclusion in four EU regions along the Balkan route.
Policy participation
Increasing youth participation, particularly those with migrant backgrounds, in policy-making on migratory issues.
Promoting social cohesion and inclusive narratives
Empowering youth and communities to support migrant inclusion and counter disinformation
The overall framework of the E-Locum – Local Compacts of the United Mates of Europe project wants to contribute to social cohesion with specific regard to the inclusion of migrants and refugees, by addressing the social capacity of the hosting communities.
In particular, the project aims at restructuring the polarized narrative on migration, calling to action young residents and their educators in at least 4 countries along the Balkan route: Italy, Greece, Slovenia and Romania, but also to prevent and counter disinformation among the youth.
