Summary: LAST MINUTE CALL for 6-day training course for 5 youth workers, municipality officers and young leaders with migrant background from Latvia and Austria.
Target group: Youth workers, Project managers, Youth Policy Makers, Municipality Youth Workers.
For participants from: Austria, Latvia.
Group size: 5 participants.
Details:
Due to last minute events - we are relaunching the call looking specifically for youth workers, municipality officers and young leaders with migrant background: 3 participants from Latvia and 2 participants from Austria. Participants from the other partner countries listed in the call have already been selected. The training will be a space for development of competences, dialogue and sharing of experiences among 26 youth workers, local authorities/municipal officers responsible for youth and youth leaders working with young migrants and youth with migrant background from the Netherlands, Austria, Latvia, Italy, Poland, Turkey, Greece, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Romania, and FYROM. Named and shamed throughout political debates and electoral campaigns, the millions of immigrants living all over Europe are completely excluded from the political discourse, hearing themselves called in the news but without any open avenues to respond and express their opinion, becoming the mere subject of the conversation, not the participants. Similarly, young people are excluded from social and civic life and the recent terrorist attacks reminded us of the grave risks of disengagement and marginalisation of youth as the way it reacts can dangerously reach up to violent radicalisation. Overall, the 2015 EU Youth Report highlights young people with migrant background as 1 the 2 groups most at risk of poverty and social exclusion, making them the most voiceless category of all.
Participants will re-think their interventions related to young migrants and youth participation at local level answering questions like:
• How can institutions better respond to the need of young people?
• How can they better shape their initiatives to offer real scope for them to become actors and to take decisions, thus concretely encouraging their participation?
• Are they prepared for the possibility of young people changing the old script?
• Which support should come from civil society and youth workers to support both parties?
Secondly, the opportunities for participation are limited by the socio-political context for many young people, where accumulated disadvantage presents them with difficulties in developing personal autonomy and citizen status:
• Which actions are required by local authorities and CSO to reduce these disadvantages?
• Which competences and methods do local authorities and youth organizations need to better reach out to marginalised young people and preventing their violent radicalisation?
The training course will involve 26 participants with the following profile:
• Municipality officers responsible for youth, Civil servants or elected representatives from local institutions with responsibilities in youth issues.
• Youth workers and educators from NGOs and other institutions working with young migrants and youth with migrants background.
• Youth leaders and young migrants or with migrant background active in the field of youth participation and social inclusion.
• Researchers on youth issues and migrant youth on local level.
In order to apply to this training, you must apply together with another participant from the same town/region being a:
1. Local youth policy representative (in either youth, social, education and/or employment policies, depending on the local organizational structure of the municipality), working within the municipality;
2. local professional youth work manager or senior professional working with and for young migrants, youth with migrants background and young people with disadvantaged backgrounds and fewer opportunities.
