MiGROW was a leadership and skills-development initiative aimed at young refugees and migrants (ages 18-30). Through non-formal training programmes and peer-to-peer formats, the project helped participants grow in self-efficacy, intercultural competence and social inclusion.

🎯 Main objectives

  • Strengthen self-efficacy and employability among young migrants and refugees.
  • Foster intercultural understanding and emotional resilience.
  • Encourage active participation and shared European values.
  • Promote inclusion through education, training, and peer learning.
