Wave – Digital Inclusion for Young Migrants
a summary presentation
Wave – Digital Inclusion for Young Migrants is an Erasmus+ project aimed at promoting the digital inclusion of young migrants. It is funded by the European Union and implemented by a transnational network of five partners from five different EU countries: the French Red Cross (coordinator), Generation for Change CY (Cyprus), Faros (Greece), Inercia Digital (Spain), and Istituto degli Innocenti (Italy).
The project specifically seeks to foster the inclusion of young people with a migrant background by enhancing their digital skills, literacy, and access to the digital world. In addition, it pursues two further key objectives: strengthening the capacity of youth workers and educators to effectively support young migrants in their digital learning pathways; and empowering young migrants to actively contribute to the digital inclusion of their peers with a migrant background through peer support and community engagement.
The project targets not only young people and adolescents with a migrant background, but also teachers and educators who support them in developing digital competences.
A range of activities is planned, including the development of a training toolkit to advance digital skills and inclusion among young migrants; the delivery of training programmes based on the toolkit and the resources developed; a job shadowing initiative for youth workers and digital trainers (two participants from each partner country will visit another partner country to observe and gain practical knowledge from experienced professionals in the field); and peer-to-peer actions aimed at helping young migrants improve their digital competences.
