CRE8IVE Project Output 5 – Policy Paper
The CRE8IVE project recognizes the positive impact of continuous training of youth workers on quality youth work. In fact the rational of the CRE8IVE stands on the principle that youth workers training can have a positive impact on youth work. The project underlines the key role to be played by youth workers and adult education professionals in youth work and seeks to ensure that they can benefit from the provision of essential continuous professional development training. The project acknowledges the fact that for many disadvantaged youth, formal education approaches have failed to deliver the learning outcomes required in today’s economy and therefore suggests the use of digital media and creative arts as complementary and/or alternative teaching areas to acquire basic and transversal skills.
CRE8IVE policy paper covers various aspects concerning training opportunities for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for youth workers and adult education staff in the State Members of the European Union. It presents the policy in perspective regarding youth work and youth workers training at a national level and at EU level. In particular the paper briefly discusses the legal framework and the national strategies of youth work and outlines issues of youth workers training. Finally, the paper presents a set of recommendations towards improving CPD for youth workers.
The Mediterranean Migration Network (MMN) organized a two-day study visit for 7 delegates of Cyprus public services, local authorities and NGOs to Rome, Italy. Italy is one of the main landing points for migrants who cross the Mediterranean. Over the last 10 years, Italy managed to absorb hundreds of thousands of migrants (especially from Africa).
In this frameworks, the objective of the MMN study visit to Rome were:
The study visit that took place on 14th and 15th of June 2018 was attended by representatives of Asylum Migration and Integration Fund and European Funding Unit of the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Cyprus, Migration Department of the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Cyprus, Asylum Service of the Republic of Cyprus, Nicosia Municipality Multifunctional Foundation, Cyprus Pedagogical Institute of the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Cyprus, Opinion and Action (Media Group), Cooperativa sociale San Saturnino onlus, Italy Ministry of Interior, FCEI – Federation of Protestant Churches in Italy /Mediterranean Hope, Campaign and Domestic Programme Funding / Oxfam Italy, UNAR – National Anti-discrimination Office, Polo Intermundia, Civico Zero cooperative, Municipality of Rome, Social Policy Department – Minors Protection/Unaccompanied Children, Agenzia Nazionale Giovani, Diocesan Caritas Viterbo, Fondazione il Faro, Programma Integra, International Organization for Migration, Migrempower project and CARDET.
During the first day of the study visit in Rome participants had a round table session through which they discussed the activities and opportunities of the Mediterranean Migration Network. In addition, participants discussed the current migration situation in Cyprus and Rome. Furthermore, the meeting was divided into three main sessions through which participants had the opportunity to discuss and exchange information and opinions. The sessions were the following:
The second day of the study visit was dedicated to a series of visits in Rome in the Civico Zero safe house for undocumented minors and the Polo Intermundia School.

The Mediterranean Migration Network (MMN) on the 22nd and 29th of June 2018 organized two workshops on “building bridges towards migrants’ integration” at the Municipality of Agios Dometios and the Municipality of Agios Athanasios Limassol respectively.
The objectives of the two workshops were to capture the concept of “migrants” in Cyprus (participants’ perception), to document the interventions that are taking place within the local communities as well as to promote empathic practices in communicating problem solving and barriers between stakeholders and migrants.
The presenter of the workshops was Dr. Maria Prodromou. Through the workshops, Dr. Prodromou, defined the context of migrants in Cyprus as well as set several rhetorical questions on the way stakeholders can develop and implement actions. Finally, she provided illustrative examples on the way communities can contribute to the integration of these people.
Participants, who were representatives from public and private bodies as well as local authorities, NGOs and educators, developed their skills and broaden their knowledge in becoming active listeners and careful moderators. By the end of the workshops participants were given different perspectives on their daily communication with migrants and developed their skills on the way they approach sensitive cases with migrants.
Both of the two workshops were carried out in Greek.
