Description
The project focuses on young people with a migration background and aims to create opportunities for them to take an active role in promoting change in areas where they encounter disadvantage and discrimination with a specific focus on the area of secondary education, where this group is confronted with systemic barriers in the form of unequal opportunities, a lack of support and a lack of appropriate ways to voice their concerns and defend their interests. The primary target group are young people with a migration background, from whom an action group of around eight young people will be set up and then systematically supported through workshops and training in the process of reflecting and identifying issues that they face and feel passionate about. The action group will then explore and design possible solutions and take action in staging appropriate interventions aimed at bringing about the desired changes. In the last stage of the project, the results of this process will be presented to the public in the form of a campaign on social media and a range of public events as well as the creation of a handbook describing the experiences of the project and formulating recommendations for other young people to be inspired to take action. All the activities in the project are designed to be conducted according to participatory principles, which is an area in which the employees of the organization will be trained and will then translate their learnings into internal materials that will inform the processes of the organisation going forward.
