The possibility of helping to shape the barcamp through their own sessions, workshops and discussion groups promotes the autonomy of young people.

LGBT Youth Scotland recognised that young people who are either socially or geographically isolated weren’t able to engage with our groups or national projects. By developing a group chat function we could network GSAs in schools across the country allowing young people in these areas to connect with the wider young LGBTI school community. They are able to chat to each other and our team while working on a digital mini-project such as creating posters for their GSA. All sessions aim to connect young people across the GSA groups, allow them to learn new digital skills using online tools and share their learning with each other.

The MY WelcomeGuide provides both young people and children with refugee experience with short video clips to help them find their way around their new environment. The clips should neither be instructive nor pointing fingers. The aim of the project is to provide new arrivals with initial tips on basal questions.

The project is designed in such a way that the young people who produce the welcome clips are actively involved at all levels. They are significantly involved in the selection of topics as well as in the realization of the clips. This guarantees that the topics are very close to the needs of the refugees arriving in Munich.
