“Migrons en Sicile”

This human rights education (HRE) project entitled “MIGRONS EN SICILE” is an original initiative being taken forward by young French and Romanian citizens. It brings together partner associations such as ARCI (Italian recreational and cultural association), Caritas and Amnesty International. The aim is to inform and educate migrants, refugees and young unaccompanied minors in the city of Pozzallo about their rights, in liaison with partner associations, legal experts, teachers and journalists who are human rights activists. The project follows the experiment conducted by young people in Calais in February 2016 and in Athens in July 2016 and it is in this context that the project is developing. It provides an opportunity to reflect on the tragedies in the Mediterranean since the humanitarian disaster of Lampedusa. The project will run in Pozzallo, a point of arrival for migrants. “Migrons en Sicile” took concrete form from 28 February to 4 March 2017.
