Work in progress: transition to citizenship

Achieving the autonomy of unaccompanied and separated migrant youth through employment, housing and social inclusion is the result that the CEAS project “Work in progress: transition to citizenship” aims to reach in Milan. The goal is to provide migrant youth the tools to overcome the uncertainties that often occur when they reach adulthood and have to leave the reception facility.

The project is run by a network of thirteen organizations, including public institutions and private social bodies, with a long experience of collaboration for unaccompanied children.

The main idea behind the project is that a better interaction between the reception system and the civil society (workplace, associations, peer relations) might improve the outcomes of job placement and social inclusion, increase the children’s social and interpersonal skills, and create a protection factor for young people at the end of their reception path.
