In 2025, our program will continue to empower migrant youth across Europe, focusing on inclusion in education, labor, politics, and decision-making. Building on the previous year’s goals, this program aims to create sustainable opportunities for migrant young people. Specific Objectives: 1. Capacity Building: Equip migrant youth and organizations with skills for job market integration and self-employment. 2. Social and Civic Engagement: Promote volunteering within migrant communities, addressing the effects of COVID-19. 3. EU Youth Policies and Programs: Raise awareness on EU Youth policies, Erasmus Plus, and European Solidarity Corps, promoting inclusion, sustainability, and democratic engagement. Promote EU youth goals and Agenda among migrant young people. 4. Sustain the legacy of the European Year of Youth through activities for further inclusion of migrants. 5. Support the European Year of Digital Citizenship Education 2025: Carry forward activities that strengthen the digital inclusion of migrant youth, promoting digital safety and combat online hate speech. 6. Connecting with Decision Makers: Foster relationships between migrant youth and policymakers to enhance youth involvement in policy. Democratic Participation: Encourage migrant youth to engage in local, national, and EU elections. 7. Knowledge Transfer: Share insights with policy institutions and stakeholders to inform future initiatives. Program Activities: The 2025 program includes training, youth exchanges, study visits, toolkit development, events, and conferences. Priority is on migrant youth with limited opportunities, training them as multipliers for inclusion and anti-discrimination. Target Impact: The annual program will reach out to about 800 migrant youth and 360 youth workers, supporting new youth social enterprises and migrant-led entrepreneurships. ​
