Animus Foundation together with our partners Situational Center Open Doors 
and Epeka
, have developed the MODEL OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ADAPTATION OF YOUNG MIGRANTS BASED ON THE PEER-TO-PEER PRINCIPLE as part of the From Home to Home project. This manual is the result of extensive work aimed at supporting young migrants in adapting to their new environment through structured and engaging activities.
What is it about?
The manual consists of 37 modules, categorized into three key areas:
Art – fosters self-expression and communication through creativity.
Sport – brings people together regardless of language barriers.
Education – helps young migrants navigate new surroundings and acquire knowledge.
A tested and proven methodology
Throughout the project, our partners and local organizations have been actively using and implementing various modules from this methodology. These activities have received incredible feedback from youth leaders, young migrants, educators, mentors, and stakeholders, proving the effectiveness of this approach in real-life adaptation processes.
Why is this important?
Facilitates the integration of young migrants into local communities.
Creates a safe space for communication and personal development.
Empowers young people to take an active role in their adaptation process.
Encourages local organizations, youth centers, cultural institutions, and municipalities to engage in organizing activities and fostering youth participation at the local level.
This manual is a valuable resource for youth workers, volunteers, educators, and activists working with young migrants.
