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.
