About
Integration strategies to support the empowerment of young vulnerable migrants.
Project Outcomes
- The concept of ‘liquid integration’ indicates that migration is a dynamic process where both migrants and receiving societies should be actively involved.
- To improve integration policies, it is fundamental to acknowledge existing differences between young migrants. What might work for one individual or group might not work for another.
- In particular, young migrants living in urban and rural settings have different integration experiences.
- Small, more familiar networks in less populated areas can help some migrants overcome difficulties. For others, these settings can be isolating and offer fewer opportunities.
Highlighted Publications and Tools
- Policy recommendations – towards an equal and fair participation of young migrants in host societies.
- Youth blog – testimonies from youth with experiences of migration and integration.
- Online art exhibition
- Comics – youth-friendly material on youth and migration.
