Cross Border Workshop - E-Locum Erasmus+ Project

40 young people, 5 European countries, 4 migration-themed workshops involving institutions, media, youth organizations, and schools, and a shared Pact on Migration to be presented to the institutions.

Elocum gives young Europeans a voice on migration. Always extremely polarized, the debate on the topic is an excellent opportunity to develop critical thinking, media literacy, and intercultural awareness.

E-Locum encourages girls and boys to engage with diverse opinions to become active and aware European citizens, ready to face current challenges.

In 2024-2025, E-LoCum worked in local communities to gather ideas, proposals, and perspectives from young people on the topic of migration, creating real opportunities for sharing and exchange between people of diverse backgrounds.

In Gorizia, on October 23rd and 24th, the fruits of this work will be gathered to arrive at a single Local Compact: a joint proposal signed by European young people to be presented to administrators and civil society.
