Young Migrant Space

Who are we?

We are a newly formed group of young people whose goal is reflection, analysis, and the concretization of projects around migratory processes and losses.

What do we do?

Migrant spaces It's a group formed from the European Youth Initiative (ages 17-30) promoted by the FaMiDo Association (Belgium) to build a network of thought among young people from different countries and local actions proposed and carried out by them on topics related to migration processes and their grief, in order to improve detected psychosocial difficulties.

What are our goals?

• Annual meeting with other European youth groups to exchange experiences, reflections, and analyses of migratory situations and phenomena.
• Reflection and analysis of concepts and psychological and social impacts in migration processes.
• Generate awareness activities for the general population to promote inclusion and social cohesion.
• Carry out activities for the promotion of mental health for young immigrants.
• Organize training-experiential workshops

Our activities

• Meeting and sharing the work of each group in Belgium (August 2018)

• Preparation of workshops for young immigrants and locals to work through migratory grief and raise awareness among the general population.
