Project Aim :
is fostering the integration of migrants/immigrants/refugees living in 5 different cities across Europe. This project therefore intends to bridge the gap that exists between local and migrant communities.
Project objectives:
- To provide a space for migrants’ voices through a platform in which diverse and even completely opposed opinions and ideas come together in dialogue.
- To call the attention of policymakers to the need to create public spaces in which migrants are welcome, where they can find support, and where they can belong, together with people from local societies.
- To encourage cooperation between sectors in order to provide migrants with more holistic projects, related to health, employment, and general healthy lifestyle.
- To create a community centered around the participants of Open Cafe. So that they can feel that by participating, they are connected to other participants in other partner sites. Thus creating a community among them, where they start friendships or new projects, find new jobs, or start up new businesses.
- To create a community of like-minded NGOs that are interested in implementing Open Cafe as a method for integration in their communities.
- For young people to become more socially active by creating their own projects and participating in international projects such as youth exchanges, training courses, and volunteering projects.
- To promote participation in democratic life in Europe, intercultural dialogue, social inclusion, and solidarity.
- To enhance the international dimension of youth activities and enhance the capacity of youth workers and organizations in their support for young people.
- To increase participants’ competence in foreign languages, particularly English and regional languages.
- To promote volunteering activities and values among participants.
