YIPPEE’s Multiplier Event in Portugal12/18/2023 Aproximar, the Portuguese partner of YIPPEE, promoted a Multiplier Event on the 6th of December, in Lisbon. During the afternoon, 18 participants met at the headquarters of the organization. More specifically, the group was made of YIPPEE’s partners and professionals from Portuguese organizations that work with migrants and refugees. The event was divided into 2 panels. In the first one, the Partnership had the opportunity to present the resources produced by the project and explain their practical purpose to attendees. For the second panel, Aproximar invited speakers from the Portuguese Council for Refugees and Global Diáspora to share their experiences and perspectives regarding the main challenges faced by migrant youth in Portugal, and what must be done by organizations to address these issues. Because participants had diverse personal and professional backgrounds, different topics related to the social inclusion of young migrants were brought up during the discussion: employment, housing, language, access to higher education, etc. The event turned out to be a moment for stakeholders to reflect together on the particular vulnerabilities of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in each country, and to learn from each other on how to promote non-discrimination and inclusion.
