The YMCB project:

Practice spotlight – Outreach and selection

• Adapted the scope of the selection by adopting a flexible approach. On the

one hand, the project prioritised newly and recently arrived young migrants

under the age of 35. On the other hand, in order to address the length of the

legal process to acquire specific statuses, it also included prospective young

migrant entrepreneurs who had lived in the EU for a long time but still struggled

to create a business or to participate in mainstream entrepreneurship

schemes. It also included second-generation migrants through a case-by-case

approach.

• Reached out to potential beneficiaries through organisations that were already

working on migrant integration in the target areas. The project involved

one info session per area and used social media to answer candidates’ questions.

The Entreprise4Integration project:

• Selected participants through an online call and with the support of CSOs with

an expertise on migrant integration and skill assessment. The selection criteria

were identified and discussed through partners’ transnational network, with

national chapters of the same organisation providing guidance.

• Involved cultural mediators to best address the socio-cultural specificities for

every application.
