DOREA Team is looking for youth with migrant background currently residing in Cyprus to participate in  Erasmus+ KA3 “Youth in motion” project activities including upcoming Erasmus+ youth training that will take place in London, UK.

The training course are a part of Erasmus+ KA3 project “Youth in Motion”.  The project aims to support and empower young people’s voices and input into society, especially those who voices are not often heard.  The Youth in Motion project will effectively capture, film and report on the issues facing young migrants and empower them to provide first hand input into politicians and policies such as the European Union Youth Policy.  For more information about the project, please click here.

Erasmus+ Youth training

Date and Location: 

2nd – 7th  February 2020 in London, UK

Participants: 2 participants

What will you learn?  

The Youth in Motion project aims to support and empower young people’s voices and input into society, especially those who voices are not often heard. While migration is a major issue under discussion around and within Europe, young migrants’ perspectives are not often understood or widely sought. This can lead to disillusionment amongst young migrants exacerbated by the lack of policy that impacts their needs. The Youth in Motion project aims to address this.

The young migrant participants will co-create the project, to engage in a structured dialogue with parliamentarians, MEPs and policymakers through filmed debates, interviews and documentaries in each country with their respective parliaments and ultimately with EU institutions and policymakers during May 2020 including the European Youth Event at the European Parliament.

The Training will include:

• train the trainers programme for youth workers while the young participants take part in parallel peer to peer training
• these two groups will come together to explore how to combine this and work together
• there will be documentary training covering concept, storyboarding, narration, research, interviews, art direction, camera handling, sound recording, editing
• national and European policy affecting young migrants
