Ines Anttila, Alexandra Politidis Palm, and Haris Eloy, ‘Not Alone in Europe – Cooperation Strategy: Developing youth work practices on refugee inclusion’, RFSL Ungdom, 2021
Abstract
Innovation Intellectual Output: 01 is a how-to guidebook focused on innovative youth work practices concerning LGBTQI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex) asylum seekers, migrants, and refuge-seeking youth. This guide is based on the experiences, knowledge, and practices of the Newcomers Youth project, which targets young LGBTQI asylum seekers, undocumented people, and migrants in Sweden. Newcomers Youth is an ongoing project of the human rights organization RFSL Youth based in Stockholm, Sweden.
In order to make our youth work methodologies and guidelines graspable for both experienced and non-experienced actors working with young LGBTQI refugees, this guidebook is divided into four parts.
• The first part focuses on queer and asylum terminology that will be used throughout the material, and the provision of more information on RFSL Youth and Newcomers Youth. (4-7)
• The second part is focused on the ways of supporting LGBTQI young migrants, as well as reflecting on their needs and challenges. (8-12)
• The third part tackles advocacy work in relation to the target group’s rights and strategic planning for the corresponding advocacy procedures. (14-17)
• Lastly, the fourth part of this book consists of recommendations, a summary and ideas for youth policies based on both theoretical knowledge and practical experience with the target group. (18)
