challenges:

The change in the mindset of youth willing to illegally migrate needs more time and collaborative efforts focusing on both youth and their parents and to provide example of successful youth living in the same community without need to migrate.

success:

Alkorra build the capacities of youth, coached them, and empowered them to initiate their own ideas

context:

The youth in the project affiliated with AlKorra, have been capacitated to develop their own initiatives to limit unemployment in two governorates. Participants of the youth initiatives succeeded to use untraditional ways to reach more youth through an electronic campaign to combat illegal immigration within the framework of finding reason to stay project. The campaign titled “I am young and I reject the illegal migration”. The campaign achieved 6300 views. One of the initiatives in Qaliubia has produced and published a short video on the illegal migration. The film is an initiative from one of the graduates of the capacity-building program (Ms. Wissam). It includes some interviews with some persons around migration (uploaded on the project channel on YouTube https://youtu.be/mC6USiuy-Ak
