The UNITY EUROPE project, co-financed by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ KA2 Cooperation Partnership framework, is pleased to announce the publication of the final deliverables of the Work Package 2 (WP2). This underlines a first significant mark in the project which is making significant strides toward enhancing the integration of young migrants (aged 18 to 30) across Europe. Project Aim: to boost employability, foster intercultural dialogue, and develop a digital platform with training resources, aligning with EU priorities on inclusion, diversity, active citizenship, and youth employability. Six partners are involved from six countries: Belgium, Cyprus, France, Italy, Spain, and Türkiye, representing both the education system and the youth sector at large. Following the successful conclusion of WP2, we are thrilled to share the results with our target audience, stakeholders, and policymakers. These outcomes represent a milestone in our journey to support young migrants with essential knowledge and resources for their integration. Final Assessment Report: It is the product of a collaborative effort aimed at analysing both quantitative and qualitative data on young immigrants in Europe. It focuses on identifying key challenges and gaps in training that hinder the social and professional integration of young immigrants. The report examines the drivers and barriers to integration in partner countries and across Europe. Factors such as language difficulties, legal obstacles, cultural differences, and economic challenges are explored in depth. The report and an open discussion on results among partners identified eight key training areas (merged into 6 final training topcis) that will form the foundation of targeted educational content to be offered in Work Package, ensuring that the training programmes are relevant, impactful and capable of supporting the integration of young immigrants into European society. These areas are: Networking, communication, and soft skills Language and cultural competence Crafting an EU-compliant CV Entrepreneurial competence Financial literacy Digital literacy Mental well-being Legal rights education and civic/political engagement Repository of Useful Information and Links: This newly developed repository includes a series of fiches that offer vital information and useful links to young immigrants. These fiches provide insights into the legal requirements, cultural nuances, and support services in the six partner countries, empowering our target audience to navigate their new environments with confidence. By equipping young migrants with the right resources, the Repository is a practical tool for easing their transition into host communities and institutions. Our next steps We are going to focus on the creation of the UNITY EUROPE Toolbox, a collection of digital Open Educational Resources (OER) aimed at enhancing the skills of young migrants. These resources will be directly inspired by the results of Work Package 2, providing young immigrants with the knowledge and competencies they need to integrate effectively and contribute meaningfully to their new communities.
