The first meeting of the Community of best practices and knowledge for unaccompanied minors in Europe of the EU project "Building Knowledge from Local Practices: a solution for better care and integration of unaccompanied minors" was held in Paris from 15 to 18 January, followed by the second meeting of the Steering Committee on 18 and 19 January.
Members of the scientific personnel of “The Smile of the Child” as well as representatives of the organizations Apprentis d'Auteuil from France, Federazione SCS CNOS from Italy, Christliches Jugenddorfwerk Deutschlands from Germany, l’Heure Joyeuse in Morocco and partners from the research field, Ghent University in Belgium, University of Bedfordshire in England and the Observatory on the migration of minors (University of Poitiers) in France took part in the meeting.
The meeting of the Community of best practices and knowledge for unaccompanied minors in Europe offered to the participants the opportunity to share common and inspiring actions and challenges for practitioners and bring together national actions on the future common working topics of the Community.
The meeting of the Steering Committee that followed aimed at the evaluation of the first meeting of the Community of best practices and knowledge along with the creation of the intellectual output. Moreover, the members of the Steering Committee set the next steps of the project’s implementation.
The project’s duration is 24 months and aims at promoting and reinforcing the quality of work of youth workers who come on a daily basis in direct contact with unaccompanied minors. This will be achieved through the sharing of good practices, peer learning and implementation of new tailored-made educational solutions targeted to these minors.
The project is co-funded by the European Programme ERASMUS+.
