Focus Group on Diaspora
From 2016, the North-South Centre continued to work with diaspora communities as a strategic partner for the youth programme.
To kick-off this activity, the North-South Centre gathered a group of young experts who could contribute to narrow down the specific objectives and the main activities targeting diaspora youth in Europe in order to design a relevant flow for the project in the upcoming three years. The meeting took place in Mollina, between 21-24 September, as part of the preparatory phase of the iLEGEND.
Four experts from different diaspora groups in Europe (Africa, Asia and Maghreb), along with two representatives of the North-South Centre, worked on designing a specific working methodology that will allow, by nurturing from concrete successful experiences of diaspora youth in Europe, to build more inclusive societies in both EU Member States (countries of residence) and countries of origin.
The Global Education Week is a world-wide campaign implemented by the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe and the Global Education Network in the framework of the iLEGEND III, a joint programme of the European Union and the Council of Europe: co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe.
