On The Move is an exciting and ambitious project that took place in 2016 to 2018 which covered everything from dealing with visa obstacles to raising awareness of the challenges facing young refugees and migrants and better including them in our organisations. The project will tackle many issues around mobility, all of which are relevant to young people living in a globalised world and who do not want to be stopped by borders!

Three expert meetings took place in 2016 and 2017 explore the topics of refugees and migration, visas and regional youth work respectively, which provided the foundations of this project. These were followed by an African regional meeting and Latin American regional meeting, to adapt the project to specific regional contexts.

In 2017 and 2018 we delivered two online courses on migration and refugees and regional youth work. We are planning on making the courses available in open online course format in late 2018 - keep an eye out on this page for more information!

As an output of our project we have a website with lots of information and activities to deal with the topic of visas in IFM-SEI, developed by participants from Africa, Europe and the Middle East to support youth movements in visa processes for youth work activities. Check out the link below!
