Empowering Young Refugees through Digital Skills: Key Insights from a Policy Roundtable Discussion

On June 19th 2023, the ySKILLS project organised a policy roundtable to present the key findings from our qualitative study with young refugees in Belgium, Greece, and the UK. This gathering served as a platform for collaborative contemplation on potential avenues to support young refugees to take full advantage of the opportunities that the online world can offer to them. The roundtable was attended by members from civil society, practitioners and academics who engaged in thoughtful deliberations on issues such as digital inequalities, online experiences, opportunities and risks, as well as overall wellbeing. This roundtable served to inform policy recommendations elaborated by our project and can provide a useful basis for discussion at both the EU and national levels.
