The aim of the study visit is to contribute to a more effective integration of young people with a migration and refugee background in Slovakia by identifying and transferring good practices from Norway. We focus on the analysis of support activities and measures for young people with a migration and refugee background in Norway. To this end, we will conduct 10 interviews with key actors in Norway and participate in a workshop to be implemented by the partner organisation from Norway, YYouth. The outcome of the bilateral cooperation will be a policy brief document in which we will describe the integration system in Norway and Slovakia, the challenges both countries face in the inclusion of young people with a migration and refugee background, and the findings and inspirations from the study trip (lessons learned).
