This guide looks at the issue from the perspective of those involved: the refugees. Therefore, it also includes an overview of the barriers and challenges through the eyes of those displaced and trying to build a new life in a new land. Potential solutions to these issues are also examined. So get inspired, get active, and help make a positive difference in both your community and people’s lives!

“Working with migrants and refugees – guidelines, tools and methods”
FIND IT HERE.
These guidelines are the outcome of the of the three events of the IYNF’s year of “Border-Free Solidarity”. During the second seminar “Be Border-free” in Frankfurt, Germany the met and interacted with young refugees, and with representatives of initiatives working with migrants. Through this fruitful exchange, they collected ideas, expertise, and knowledge about different methods and tools that can be used for migration-related youth work. In the final activity “Raise your Voice” the participants developed the collection of ideas into a tool in the shape of Guidelines. During that activity the participants looked at the topic of migration from a more political and abstract perspective which enabled them to structure the guidelines and make the connection to the topic of the year “Borderfree Solidarity” as well as to the position paper on this topic, which was created during the last activity and in the following weeks, visible . These guidelines are thus the outcome of a collaborative effort of participants and facilitators working with refugees and migrants in different contexts.

The collection displays a variety of inspirational initiatives, which can provide further ideas on how to address a particular particular topic or a target group, or what methods to use when working on refugees welcoming and integrations. Although the beneficiaries of the good practises in the projects are refugee and asylum seekers, the good practices collected have refugees, asylum seekers and economic migrants as beneficiaries.
