Rencontrez les Volontaires
Les migrants de retour en tant que volontaires jouent un rôle essentiel dans l’élaboration ; la planification et la mise en œuvre de la campagne Migrants comme Messagers
À travers leurs histoires, les enseignements tirés de leurs expériences migratoires et leur créativité, les volontaires de MaM sont les principaux auteurs et acteurs de la campagne. De 2019 à 2022, une communauté de plus de 300 volontaires répartis dans 7 pays va se développer et s’agrandir. Cette communauté aura également accès à des formations diversifiées et à des possibilités de renforcement des capacités, et sera invitée à participer à des activités régulières pour soutenir le développement d’une communauté organique et durable. L’engagement des femmes joue un rôle important au sein de la communauté des volontaires de MaM, car elles prendront l’initiative d’organiser des séances de dialogue entre femmes et engageront le public féminin de manière plus générale.
