- lessons_learned:
- description:
- Using untraditional means of awareness raising such as involvement of
returned illegal immigrants or artistic methods like the interactive
drama are effective tools
- context:
- The youth in the project affiliated with AlKorra, have been capacitated
to develop their own initiatives to limit unemployment in two
governorates. Participants of the youth initiatives succeeded to use
untraditional ways to reach more youth through an electronic
campaign to combat illegal immigration within the framework of
finding reason to stay project. The campaign titled “I am young and I
reject the illegal migration”. The campaign achieved 6300 views.
One of the initiatives in Qaliubia has produced and published a short
video on the illegal migration. The film is an initiative from one of the
graduates of the capacity-building program (Ms. Wissam). It includes
some interviews with some persons around migration (uploaded on
the project channel on YouTube https://youtu.be/mC6USiuy-Ak
- success:
- Alkorra build the capacities of youth, coached them, and empowered
them to initiate their own ideas
- challenges:
- The change in the mindset of youth willing to illegally migrate needs
more time and collaborative efforts focusing on both youth and their
parents and to provide example of successful youth living in the same
community without need to migrate.
- administrative_issues:
- The high turnover rate in the ILO project team made the linkages
among youth led initiatives and other initiatives led by MOY
