"Youth inclusion:
key to successful
migrant
integration"
The European Commission and the
European Economic and Social
Committee are launching the call
for expression of interest to
participate to the 7th
meeting of the European Migration
Forum, which will take place on
20-21 October 2022 in Brussels
. The
European Migration Forum
is a platform for dialogue between
civil society and the European
institutions on issues relating to
migration, asylum and the
integratio
n of non-EU country nationals.
The 7th EMF meeting will
focus on the topic of youth inclusion
and will in particular address:
young migrants’ access to
education and training
; specific challenges and measures
regarding
integration of young refugees
; legal migration: youth mobility,
both in the context of education
and labour mobility of young
people;
advancing participation and
engagement of young migrants
.
The event will have an
interactive, participatory
approac
h. The core of the event will
consist of
workshops, discussion islands
and other opportunities
to participate in the debate. All
participants will be expected to
contribute to discussions and work
in groups.
Interpretation in several
languages will be provided for
some sessions
but the working language in
workshop sessions will be English
and it is therefore highly
recommended that participants have
a good command of English.
Local and regional authorities interested in participating are invited to complete, no later than 31 August 2022, the application form here. (From the choices in point 3 of the application, please select 'type of organisation' as network of local and regional authorities and specify the name of your local or regional authority in the field 'other'.) Should you have any questions, please contact the CIVEX secretariat at civex@cor.europa.eu.
Participants will be selected by

Economic and Social Committee and
