Valencia Acoge has recently initiated the project "SPEAK OUT: Building a social and inclusive Europe from youth and migrant volunteering" which we will develop together with the following entities: Cantiere Giovanni Cooperativa Sociale ONLUS, InterEuropean Human Aid Association Germany e.V, Lesvos Solidarity and La Cosecha Producciones. To achieve this, the protagonism of the young people of the community will be crucial.

The project will be developed in Lesvos, Thessaloniki, Naples and Valencia during the years 2023 and 2025. Its main objectives include:

Objectives

  1. Promote the protagonism of young people in the different territories of action.
  2. Consolidate among the participating entities a solid network that promotes processes that advance synergies between the migrant and non-migrant youth population.
  3. To promote collaborative work among the entities to work at a transnational and intersectoral level in order to generate a stable European network.
  4. Generate non-formal tools for the creation of friendship and support networks between native and migrated youth in order to banish hate speech, violence and extremism.
  5. To develop the civic, citizenship, social, cultural and digital skills and competencies of migrant and indigenous youth.
  6. To strengthen the local development of the communities in which the project is developed, as they are often host territories for migrant populations in particular.
  7. Generate young communities that help their neighbors to overcome difficulties, becoming actively involved in creating more sustainable and less degraded local communities where violence has no place.

Activities

For the development of this project, a set of activities will be implemented that will create the following results:

  1. A European transnational network for the inclusion of youth (migrant and indigenous) through local development of host communities.
  2. A guide to promote the inclusion of youth that will enable youth organizations and technicians to establish the new proposed methodology.
  3. Dissemination and awareness-raising materials that generate opinion about migration from a digital perspective and new technologies, created directly by young people for young people.
