We are proud and glad to be part of the Pear Project. The Pearl Project is a project that seeks to promote the participation of young migrants and refugees in the decision making process and EU democratic life in general. Migrant and refugee youth constitute a large segment of European societies that will continue to grow therefore it is of paramount importance to strengthen their citizenship capital, build their confidence and belonging to play an active role in their communities.

The project’s main objectives are:

  • Develop and apply novel educational resources and approaches for enhancing the participation of young migrants and refugees in democratic processes
  • Equip young migrants with the skills to use novel digital democracy tools to spearhead their democratic participation
  • Enhance their relevant soft skills to assist them in participating in structured and formal events al procedures
  • Increase the capacity of youth workers, CSOs and other actors in promoting migrant youth participation in decision  making processes and democratic life.
  • Engage and empower young migrants and refugees by providing them with a youth led participatory space to shape and spread their positions on key policies and on their future.

Its mission is pursued with the cooperation of partners, institutions and non-profit organizations and the objectives and overarching aim of the PEARL project is aligned with the two priorities of promoting active citizenship, and young people’s sense of initiative; as well as promoting common values, civic engagement and participation.
