Due to the massive presence of young migrants and refugees in Italya and all around UE, the necessity to establish real bonds for real social integration seems to be ineludable. This is why based on our consciences and thanks to EU porjectualities we are able and proud to introduce, together with our partner from Rumania and Cyprus, the Escape2EU project seeking to foster the social integration of young migrants as well as enhancing language learning and intercultural competences amongst youth workers through physical escape rooms.
Please read belowe the Specific Objectives as presented:
- To promote intercultural dialogue between young people and youth workers, which will reinforce the civic engagement and participation of both groups in society.
- To prevent social exclusion, marginalisation and low learning opportunities of youth with migrant background due to low linguistic skills in the host country language or a low understanding of the culture, and to promote direct interaction of young people with migrant background with the local society through common activities which will eliminate stereotypes and promote empathy and understanding between cultures.
- To promote the quality of youth work by enhancing youth workers’ knowledge and skills in intercultural competences, digital storytelling, and language learning and provide them with tools and resources to effectively support and engage with migrant youth.
- To introduce new innovative, engaging and challenging methodologies/tools through gamification (physical escape rooms) that will promote problem-solving, reflection and empathy.
Thanks to the achievement of those obejctives we will proceed to the main results of the project planned as follow:
- a physical escape room game based on real stories shared between native youth and youth with migrant background collected during the WORLD STORYTELLING CAFES to be organised. This game will promote the European values, inter-cultural competences, as well as, language learning of the hostinghttp://world-storytelling-cafehttps://escape2eu.ftsnet.it/world-storytelling-cafe/ country;
- an online interactive mapping tool that will present good practices, and initiatives related to culture, language learning and social integration among youth to create a sense of common understanding and respect between cultures;
- a blended capacity training for youth workers which will improve and develop their competences in intercultural, storytelling and language learning skills and will be validated through micro-credentials to upgrade their work.
In other sections we will present real experiences based on Escape2EU project, like the one you can find on the link above.
