Migrant entrepreneurship has become a widely discussed form of migrant incorporation in both policy and social sciences. The EU acknowledges this & promotes Strategic Entrepreneurship. In many countries, young migrants are more likely to be entrepreneurial than natives and migrants are also more likely to be self-employed than natives (UN Report Migrant Entrepreneurship:Hania Zlotnik et al.). Entrepreneurship among young migrants must be seen as a new arena for social, economic and political action. Many governments are therefore trying to actively promote entrepreneurship through various forms of support. But the role of Youth Work in fostering entrepreneurial learning has been underexposed up until today (Taking the future into their own hands Youth work and entrepreneurial learning : final report – Étude EU 2017). With the migrants issue high on the calendar of the EU there has never been a more important time for an attractive Entrepreneurship Capacity Building Support for young migrants (born in non-EU countries). The Young Migrant Entrepreneurs (YME) project will focus on delivering entrepreneurial learning support through Youth Workers and Immigration Case Workers: *Reinforce links between youth work policy and migrant policy, research and practice; *Promote better knowledge about the situation of young migrants and youth work and migrant policies; *Recognition and validation of youth work and informal non-formal entrepreneurial learning at European, national, regional and local levels *Mentoring/Youth Worker schemes for young migrants and young migrant would-be entrepreneurs. * Approaches to the assessment of entrepreneurial competences * Develops the competences of youth workers and youth trainers Within the EU, young migrants represent an important pool of potential entrepreneurs, but can face, as other more vulnerable groups, specific legal, cultural and linguistic obstacles. These issues need to be addressed in full to give the right youth work entrepreneurial support equitable to that received by all other entrepreneurial groups. This is the main goal of the Young Migrant Entrepreneurs (YME) project. The 2 year-old deal between the EU and Turkey helped control an unprecedented migration crisis! In 2015 and 2016 alone, more than 2.5 million people applied for asylum in the EU. Authorities in the member states issued 593,000 first instance asylum decisions in 2015 - over half of them positive. 1.1 million asylum decisions were made. 61% of those were positive with one third of applicants granted refugee status, the highest level of international protection. Frontex, the EU border surveillance agency, collects data on illegal crossings of the EU's external borders registered by national authorities. In 2015 and 2016, more than 2.3 million illegal crossings were detected. It’s clear there has never been a more important time for youth work to identify, encourage & support young migrants in entrepreneurship capacity building. There are some factors that underpin migrant entrepreneurship: - Higher tolerance to risk among migrants than among natives - Cohesiveness of extended families - For migrants from least developed countries, larger families provide more sources of labour for a SME - Community ties can lead to migrant dominance in certain activities The partnership programme is about identifying and supporting Young Migrant Entrepreneurs, thesocalled ‘Migrant FuturePreneurs’ and will develop a transnational ID & Support programme targeted at young migrants (14-18) & their educators, youth workers and immigration case workers YME will produce; * Country Conclusion reports on Youth Work Support in relationship to entrepreneurship capacity building with young migrants, combined with expert views * Theoretical Frame Work & Study analysis: The aim is to provide an overview of relevant theoretical perspectives on youth work and migrant entrepreneurship capacity building *An app & e-assessment tool both for identifying entrepreneurial skills explaining the Project’s main objectives, key steps to build them and success stories will be developed and presented to each partner country. *Creation of a Youth Worker's Guide *Creation of a Young Migrant Entrepreneurial Learning Support Package: *An official dedicated ‘Young Migrant Entrepreneurs’ website & OED platform will be built & updated *A Green Paper will be published on line & in hard copy, to be available for capitalisation & dissemination at EU-level Target groups: Youth Workers, Immigration Case Workers, Young Migrants (aged 14-18). This project addresses the needs of Youth Workers supporting young migrant Entrepreneurship Capacity Building. The YME-partnership consists 5 countries (Turkey, Netherlands, Italy, Romania and UK), who have had statistically the most volumes of immigrants entering their country, keeping in mind that Turkey is the immigrants first safe haven.
