Creating Opportunities for Migrant Inclusion (COSMIC)<\/strong> was a Strategic Partnership lasting 24 months focused on promoting youth volunteering as an instrument to contrast discrimination against migrants and refugees among the youth categories and within the hosting societies at large.<\/p>\n

The surge in intolerance, stereotyping, and discrimination against migrants and refugees represented one of the most glaring realities influencing political and civil society debate, particularly in the European polities most sensibly hit by the massive migrant and refugee flows from Africa and the Middle Eastern region. Eurostat quantified in 164,300 the number of extra-EU nationals who sought asylum in the EU-28 during the third quarter of 2017.<\/p>\n

In its Report covering the period between 2015 and 2016, the European Network Against Racism highlighted a concerning upward trend in episodes of racism, discrimination, and aggression against migrants, coinciding with the intensification of the migration crisis and the resulting spike in anti-migration political discourse and exclusionary migration policies across the European Union. The Report also identified a statistical increase in direct violence against refugees and asylum seekers in Europe.<\/p>\n

This pattern of discrimination, stereotyping, and attack (physical as well as verbal) was fueled by and fed a sliding of public debate over migrants and migration towards a subalternity to the dichotomic categorizations and confrontational positions expressed by populist, extremist, and generally far-right movements, which increasingly gained access to the mainstream public debate and realm of policies. Young people were particularly vulnerable to racist and discriminatory propaganda and messages, in particular considering their preferential use of Social Media, wherein this type of aggressive and discriminatory speech was ever more circulated. The necessity of setting the conditions for youth awareness about racism and discrimination as well as of the active contrast thereof in the field of youth was stressed by the European Youth Strategy, which set the objective of supporting the development of cultural awareness and the contrast of prejudice among the youth. COSMIC pursued these objectives by means of selecting and training a cluster of youth volunteers actively committed to contrasting feelings and practices of discrimination among young people as well as promoting the positive values of tolerance and respect of diversity enshrined in European identity and citizenship.<\/p>\n
