MIGRATION CHALLENGE EUROPE



Project Description


This project is a socially responsible project. It takes immigrants and refugees in its core and approaches this sensitive topic in many ways by many groups of people. This project states that everyone deserves to live a life according to the DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS.

Human Rights Watch, has witnessed and documented for more than ten years, severe violations of human rights, especially with it comes to immigrant children in their detention. Young children can be detained against their will, in places with adults they do not know. They may experience brutal treatment by them, the police or other authorities. Those kids are being held in conditions that are

way below the minimum international standards for a decent human life. Their liberty is being deprived by others.

The activities of our project, will be implemented in five schools from Estonia, Italy, Lithuania, Portugal and Turkey.
