The You(th) for the Future Hackathon’s goal is to assist migrants in securing a voice and an active role in policy development.

We need your help to involve youth migrants/refugees in active political life, and co-design policies addressed to migrants and refugees. Creating a system of EU and local consultative bodies involving migrants and refugees in designing policies!

This amazing hackathon comprehends the different frameworks of legislation of the different Member States involved in the project, based on a multi-stakeholder approach promoted by a partnership composed of NGO experts in training and education, Universities, Municipalities, and governmental Local Authorities.

We want to foster the active participation of migrants in consultative/decision-making processes that contribute to their empowerment/long-term integration into society for a mutual and better understanding and improvement of the policy framework in each country. Their involvement enhances the cultural background/skills of migrants and facilitates social inclusion in the EU context and in terms of active EU citizenship

🏅Prizes

The winning team will become the first EU Consultative Body allowing individual migrants or representatives of migrant associations to make their own decisions about how to change their life situation or participate in public life helps to break assumed patterns of dependency and paternalistic attitudes.

A Consultative Body at the EU level has the potential to stimulate political participation by immigrants and to improve integration policies by communicating the views of immigrant representatives to governmental and other stakeholders. Ideally its work is proactive and members are supported in producing high quality contributions.
