UKRAINE – Art Wall of Inclusion and Photo exhibition

On the 1st of July 2021 project team together with international students, active youth and internally displaced students have gathered to create Art Wall of Inclusion. Every participant of dissemination event could place his/her colored palm expressing support to migrant and vulnerable youth. The art wall of Inclusion and tolerance towards young refugees from the first nail to the last colored palm was created by a community of students, managers, teachers and employees of Dnipro University of Technology.

Ukrainian participants of FUTURE project (local and international activities) have created the idea of the picture in the wall which perfectly reflect their fillings and attitude to the project topic and project itself.

Every palm on the FUTURE art wall in Dniprotech is alive and unique. Every hand is a support to those who have been forced to leave their homes and forced to adapt to a new life in new conditions. This activity is part of a grand plan of action towards creating a network of caring young people ready to help refugees adapt to the conditions of new societies. The art wall is located in a picturesque corner of Dnipro University of Technology.

GEORGIA – Online debate activity for students and active youth

As dissemination, Georgian-Ukrainian online meeting was organised. It included project presentation, discussion and debates about migration. Participants that took a part in debate activities in Georgia and other interested representatives of Ukrainian and Georgian organizations and universities were invited. In the beginning moderator made the project presentation, described all project activities and underlined the importance of the migration topic. The discussion was on topic “Problems with educational inclusion of migrants and its solution”. All participants could share their opinions and experience. Also, a guest from Lebanon was invited. He is the student of Ukrainian university and could show the situation with educational inclusion from migrant side.

After discussion we had Parliamentary debates on topic “This House Believes it is legitimate for states to deny residence or asylum to immigrants who openly contradict their predominant values”. Debates are useful and effective toolkit in work with youth and can help to develop communication with migrants in different countries. In Parliamentary format participants are divided into 4 team (2 people per team) - 2 team for motion and 2 teams against. Participants don’t choose the side and it is important because they learn to understand the opposite opinions to theirs. Debates teach not only to speak but to listen and understand.

Participants of Online debate meeting – active members of NGOs and local educational organisations, active youth, youth with migrant background.

ITALY – Online meeting with local youth.

Online meeting with local youth and NGO members was organized on 15th of June by participants of Debate project activity to disseminate the results of the project and project activities and tell the issues addressed through their experiences and personal testimonies of emigration and immigration. Special attention was paid to the question of social adaptation of young migrants and their social needs during this process.

In many EU countries, participatory and co-creation approaches are implemented in areas such as social services, health and urban development. Such approaches are less common in relation to refugees and migrants, who are rarely systematically consulted or included as stakeholders and partners in the development and evaluation of actions and policies affecting them.

Online meeting intended to examine the effectiveness of the expanded participation of migrants and "host" communities in the design and implementation of policy measures and integration programs.

Choosing personal experiences as starting points, participants have addressed issues related to youth migration into and out of Italy through the testimonies of Eugenia, a recent Italian graduate who migrated to Germany and Andriy, an Italian citizen of Ukrainian origin. What drives young women to leave their country of origin? On what basis do they choose their destination? And, how does inclusion in the social fabric of the host country succeed or fail?
