Not Just Number: Youth Work, Migration and Asylum in Europe
Start date: Mar 1, 2016, End date: Feb 28, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

"Not Just Number: Youth Work, Migration and Asylum in Europe" is an international youth capacity-building project aimed at strengthening co-operation and developing capacity of youth organizations in dealing with migration and asylum issues in the EU and Western Balkans. The project is built on a broad needs analysis conducted by members of the project consortium in their communities and responds directly to needs and problems of their target groups – young people, notably those with fewer opportunities. The project is way to deepen and extend local activities in the fields of migration and asylum awareness conducted by consortium members in their countries. The main problems the project responds to are: low awareness of migration regulations in the EU and Western Balkan, prejudice and discrimination against migrants and asylum seekers and negative portrayal of migrants in the EU and Western Balkan countries. The project will create synergies between the fields of youth work, formal education and training, through co-operation with formal educational institutions in campaigning on migration and asylum matters.Formal objectives of the project are: - to facilitate exchange of expertise on approaches to migration and asylum education in youth work, - to train youth workers in using education tools developed by IOM and UNHCR (starting with the ‘Not Just Numbers’ Toolkit),- to develop a youth campaign raising awareness of migration and asylum issues, - to strengthen the capacity of consortium members in tacking migration and asylum issues- to promote further trans-national learning mobility and networking between youth organisations in the EU and Western Balkans.
