As you know, the European Scout Region of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) together with its partners in the Time To Be Welcome project is organising the Hand in Hand. Stronger Together event taking place 7 – 10 December 2018 in Brussels, Belgium. Within the scope of the event, the last day (10 December 2018) is dedicated to the dissemination and visibility of the work done in Europe to include refugees and migrant minors and youth in Scouting and other youth organisations. This activity will take place at the European Economic and Social Committee premises with the presence of the European Commission Vice President Jyrki Katainen.

As a culmination point of the event, a competition of best projects aiming at welcoming refugees and migrants in Scouting and Youth organisations is organised. All prizes will celebrate actions involving young volunteers and will target displaced young people in general, indifferently of their legal status in Europe (refugees, asylum seekers, migrants…).

The 15th European Guide and Scout Conference (Norway, June 2016) set up a working group to improve the EraGuide/EraScout Network. This joint network aims to support the inclusion of Young People and Youth Leaders into local Scout and Guide Groups during their international mobility experience.

For the past few months the Go Scout and Guide Abroad team of the European Scout Region of WOSM and the Europe Region WAGGGS has been working on material to be used by International Teams and participants in mobility programmes. As a starting point in this work, we are pleased to share some of these with you.
