European society is experiencing an unprecedented migration crisis. In addition to successive boats crossing the Mediterranean in extremely dangerous conditions, the number of refugees is exacerbated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It is undeniable that Europe is faced with serious challenges related to migration issues and in order to achieve stable solutions, it is crucial to develop joint responses.

​

The Wave of Hope project aims to tackle the major challenges related to growing migration in Europe:

• Exploring with young people alternative, innovative and intelligent forms of participation to combat the problems linked to the migration crisis and the reception of refugees, modernising the responses that the youth sector and politicians provide at this level; 

• Educating young people about their role in social inclusion issues and in building more welcoming communities; 

• Fostering opportunities for training and intercultural interaction between young people from different backgrounds, but also between them and other key players, as a way of promoting the appreciation of cultural diversity, empathy and mutual respect; 

• Promoting the development of support networks involving young people, youth organisations and others for the integration of refugees; 

Encouraging the active participation of young people in the design and implementation of policies and projects for inclusion and raising awareness of these issues at local, national and European level.
