Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Europa is now challenged on its core values and principles for cooperation in the EU because of increased flow of refugees and migrants on how to share responsibility and to include those getting asylum/right to stay into the life of the societies and into the labour market. The Schengen, the Dublin regulation is close to collapse. Countries do act individually, not as joint EU decisions.Europe is also challenged internally. After the crisis Europe has become more unequal and divided, with big differences in unemployment/youth unemployment, social and economic opportunies. Not least youth, inside Europe and from outside Europe, are on a move as migrants or they flee from conflicts and war dreaming of a better life somewhere else in Europe. Youth get pushed and pulled for it.No single country in Europe can give the necessary answers to this new situation. New methods, new methodology and tools need to be developed at transnational/ European level to get a better understanding of the root causes of migration, to develop new ways for inclusion of young migrants and refugees into the labour market and societies. There is a common need in Europe to focus on countries of destination and source of migrations, and to focus on the perception of migration is different in Europe. The partner countries Denmark, Romania and Albania do represent this diversity, and the European partner is including a wider European perspective.
