PROMOTION OF A MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY

JULY 2017– MAY 2018

 

Call for applications

Funded by Erasmus +, Youth, Not Status is the new project of aditus foundation.

Youth Not Status aims to bring together young Europeans and young refugee/migrants to include them in conversations about human rights. Youth, Not Status is comprised of a series of workshops focusing on the social inclusion of refugee and migrant youth in Malta.

Our idea is to stimulate and facilitate communication between young people of different backgrounds, and to encourage them to engage with decision-makers so as to arrive at practical solutions and ideas. The programme is a unique opportunity to acquire practical tools to support youth in developing common perspectives for sustainable strategies.

They will be guided on how to formulate political demands, comment and provide input on how Malta’s youth policy can be used as a tool to promote and encourage integration. Throughout the project, we will be focusing on human rights, advocacy skills, intercultural learning and active participation. The project will include:

  • social events to act as ice-breakers and relationship-building;
  • a Youth Camp weekend; and
  • a series of workshops, leading to a policy encounter with the Minister for Education and Employment. Some workshops will be held before the Youth Camp weekend, others will follow.

Applications will go live on June 1st 2017.
