Project description
Social inclusion strategies for unaccompanied minors in Europe
Unaccompanied minors (UAMs) arriving in Europe face major challenges due to gaps in existing social inclusion strategies. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the PATH2EU project will promote the integration of UAMs through participatory methods such as photovoice and living labs. By assessing current practices and directly involving UAMs in the policy-making process, the project will develop concrete tools and actionable recommendations for stakeholders. Combining rigorous academic research with practical implementation and adhering to ethical frameworks like the EU Green Charter and GDPR, PATH2EU aims to strengthen inclusion strategies and establish a participatory policy model that can be replicated across Europe.
Objective
The project focuses on developing innovative, participatory pathways for the social inclusion of Unaccompanied Minors (UAMs) in Europe. By employing a co-creation model and participatory methods such as Photovoice and Living Labs, the project aims to address the unique challenges faced by UAMs. It emphasizes creating an inclusive policy framework that actively involves UAMs as well as other actors in charge of their integration in designing solutions that impact their inclusion and well-being. The core objectives include: 1) analyzing the current state of UAM integration and identifying gaps and best practices through comprehensive research, 2) developing and testing a participatory model that enhances UAMs’ roles in shaping their social inclusion policies, 3) providing practical recommendations and tools for stakeholders, including policymakers and practitioners, to improve UAMs integration processes. The innovative aspect of the project lies in its integrative approach, combining academic research with real-world applications. This model not only involves UAMs but also engages a diverse range of stakeholders, ensuring that the developed solutions are grounded in actual needs and experiences. The project will employ cutting-edge methods and frameworks, such as the EU’s Green Charter, the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ensuring ethical and effective practices in all stages. Key outcomes include improved social inclusion strategies for UAMs, practical tools for implementation, and a robust participatory policy framework that could serve as a standard for Europe. PATH2EU has the potential to offer valuable insights and solutions for similar challenges faced by other regions worldwide. The project will contribute significantly to both academic research and practical policy-making, aiming to make a meaningful impact on the lives of UAMs and the broader migration community in Europe.
