SHOW ME THE BORDERS - AND I WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO CROSS THEM
Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: Oct 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The aim of this training course is to explore the processes of migration, which plays a very big role in every society, effecting many areas as employability, integration, democracy, inter-cultural dialogue, human rights etc. Considering the push and pull factors of migration, we notice very big changes in our society today. For example the forced migration (push factor) affects the employability of the young people, their education but also the social development. On the other side the pull factors as labor demand in the developed countries gives space for discrimination, prejudices, political and religious issues which effects society. The theme migration (forced or not) with its influence on employability, integration, education and tolerance will collect 40 people from countries which are most affected of the process of migration (in both ways) to work for 8 days with the aim to explore the complexity of migration processes (especially forced migration - refugees) and related legal and political aspects, without losing sight of the well-being needs of the affected population. It will also analyze response and negotiation mechanisms applicable to employability, crisis situations, but also to come in a direct contact with the effected group. Raising the competences of youth workers and youth leaders about the push and pull factors of migration, causes and consequences of migration, and how to prevent negative effects (such as marginalization) in society, how to develop new projects related to integration of young people from immigrant backgrounds to encourage employability and social development, are directly related to the Erasmus+ program priorities for fostering European citizenship, fighting unemployment and stimulating the social dialogue. The objectives of the training course are: - Exchange of experience and good practice in youth work, related to international/local migration and mobility and its influence on young people in Europe - Training youth workers and youth leaders in addressing the challenges and opportunities resulting from migration for young people /society as a whole - Raising the competence of youth workers and youth leaders about the push and pull factors of migration and causes and consequences of migration and how to prevent negative effects of migration (such as marginalization, unemployment etc) in society - Understand the EU policies towards migration and mobility and local realities in participating countries and learning good practices - Improve competences about different (youth) mobility opportunities in Europe - To develop new projects related to integration of young people from immigrant background; - Develop new initiatives in the field of migration and mobility for young people within the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme This project will focus on training youth workers and youth leaders in addressing the challenges and opportunities resulting from migration for young people/society as a whole, exchanging experiences and good practice in youth work, related to international/local migration and mobility, and its influence on young people in Europe. It will also develope new projects related to integration of young people from immigrant backgrounds, as well as new initiatives in the field of employability. Also a direct contact with the immigrants, especially with the refugees, and the places where they are placed in Berlin, is one of the aims which will raise the awareness about the complexity of forced migration. Further this project will use multimedia for visualization to enlarge learning impact and with help of a documentary to encourage the effected young people to be active citizens, to integrate themselves and with their personal skills fight the unemployment.
