Revitalize the spirit of youth participation: Join us!
Start date: Aug 1, 2015, End date: Sep 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project "RESYPA - Revitalize the spirit of youth participation: Join us!" will involve 318 young people, youth groups and youth organizations and people who work with immigrant young people in our community who need special intervention due to socio-economic risk, early school leaving and unemployment. It will also involve the participation of 46 local community youth leaders and leaders linked to youth associations and associations which develop work with the immigrant community and descendants of Africans with German citizenship. The project takes place at national level, but with multicultural and intercultural groups and its participants will have the opportunity to improve their organizational skills, social competences and their knowledge and attitudes. It is planned to organize youth counselling and advisory meetings on the promotion of the Structured Dialogue, social inclusion, intercultural dialogue, youth participation, active and democratic citizenship. In this project we will increase the awareness of some issues relevant for immigrant youth and the benefits of a dialogue between young immigrant and political decision-makers. This is a unique opportunity to put the development of immigrant youth at the centre of attention of political discourse, which also promotes the European year of development. Through the development of a participatory project, based on the Structured Dialogue, we want to give not only visibility to the issues of immigrant youth at local, regional, national and European levels, but also allow these young people to assume a central role in the development of strategies and measures for their own inclusion and full integration in German society. This project aims to improve the dialogue between young people in risk situations and young immigrants with few chances with political decision-makers at the local, national and European levels in order to develop strategies and fundamental measures to improve the access to and permanence of African youth Diaspora in the education system, to reduce early school leaving and to improve their access to the labour market. It will also create a set of recommendations aimed at minimizing social exclusion and some specific problems in the area of unemployment of early school leavers within the African Diaspora community. It also creates a strategic plan that provides better alignment between the African youth Diaspora and their policy-makers, deconstructing stereotypes and preconceived perceptions existing among local politicians and the community of immigrants, and it aims to bridge the gap in participation of the communities of African youth Diaspora in the Structured Dialogue. It allows the local youth of specific groups to influence the construction of youth policies at national and European level, to empower local youth associations, which have as their target audience African youth Diaspora and to inform them about the opportunities that exist in Erasmus+. This structured dialogue project will be achieved in 3 phases. The first one consists of the preparation in– Cologne in August and September 2015. During the implementation phase (October 2015 to July 2016), regional seminars for consultations and national meeting will take place, and the last phase comprises the evaluation and dissemination of results (August and September 2016).
