Strengthen Cooperation Among Young People
Start date: Jun 6, 2016, End date: Mar 5, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Summary Context :The increasing influx of asylum seekers to European countries, has made more important than ever to take action in increasing the possibility of their integration within the society. This is also one of the priorities of the European Commission, particularly with regards to the inclusion of young newly arrived immigrants. The main objective of this project is to facilitate integration of migrants and refugees through the participation in Erasmus+ programmes and establishing new strategies to enhance the communication between young people from different cultures and ethnic groups. Although multicultural cohabitation is one of ECEPAAs’ priorities certainly we cannot solve alone the problem of cultural differences, but together with our partners we can have an effect on some factors in order to limit these issues.ObjectivesThe purpose of SCYAP is to increase the communication through trust building between this two groups of young peoples, thanks to the introduction of the new working methodology, in order to raise the participation of young migrants and refugees in Erasmus+ exchange programmes. We have established a set of action points which will enable us to meet our goal and they are as follows:• Increase volunteers’ and youth workers’ skills;a. Communications skills;b. Training to tackle problems;c. Network with other youth associations to share best practices;d. Create tailored programmes to build trust with the help of other European partners.The methodology that will apply on this the project will be of various types. There consists in: • Analysis; • Development of innovative ideas; • Sharing best practises • Non-formal education.SCAYP main activities are:1° Research “Needs analysis of youth workers and young migrants/refugees" 13/06/2016-17/06/2016.
