The overall objective of the project is to develop and broaden the capacities of JIEX through a model of host housing that promotes their autonomy (skills development), security (housing) and stability (labour market access). This further ensures their emancipation and social integration.           

The specific objectives of the project are as follows:

1. Develop and strengthen the competences, potentialities, abilities, and skills that allow JIEX to achieve personal autonomy (security, communication, self-esteem, assertiveness) and independence (resilience, chores, development of a personal project) in the context of COVID-19.
2. Provide JIEX with shelter that guarantees their protection, satisfaction of their basic needs, and a social and educative space for their development in the context of COVID-19.
3. Ensure access to resources that promote the labour and social integration of JIEX, which will allow them to achieve economic independence and to achieve their personal dreams in the context of COVID-19.

The project creates space for exchange and emotional expression through working groups, conversational rooms and personalised meetings. Its methodology is based on a process of education and learning which is developed around the young people's own lives and experiences.

In addition to the provision and management of accommodation for JIEX, specific project activities include:

• Delivery of two in-person workshops monthly on different topics, promoting personal motivation and self-knowledge.
• Development of personal skills through cultural, sports, and artistic activities, planned according to the needs and interests of the youth.
• Creation of a group for emotional expression and exchange through workshops, conversational rooms, and personalised meetings. These groups meet monthly.
• Delivery of 12 workshops at the accommodation aimed at learning how to manage the house, again promoting the self-sufficiency of JIEX and improving the young residents' adult coexistence.
• Monthly assemblies at the accommodation aimed at programming activities and chores, establishing rules to coexist, and solving the conflicts that may arise.   
• Development of personalised itineraries for the social and labour integration of each JIEX.
• Analysis of the labour market and those sectors within which there exists greater posssibility for the integration of migrant youth, as well as the development of professional related training with a duration of 150 hours. 
• Market research and intermediation with companies willing to hire JIEX after completion of their professional training.
• Provision of legal services sharing information and support on immigration law and relevant documentation, including 2 training sessions dedicated to immigration law and labour rights.

• Contribution to skills development and professional training for JIEX, thereby promoting their autonomy and independence.
• Provision of food and housing for the target population, as well as the resources to ensure their basic needs are met.
• Furthering of the social and labour market integration of the target group.

At the close of an individual's participation in the project there is an analysis of their achievements and progress in all spheres of the project (autonomy, housing, labour market integration, emancipation, and social integration). Furthermore, all activities require participants to complete satisfaction evaluations in order to determine where there is room for improvement.

The project is aimed at young people older than 18 who migrated from their origin countries while underage, and who were previously accommodated by the state's protection programme before being kicked out, who do not have family connections or networks in the country.

The funding for the project comes from La Caixa Foundation. Employees include 2 social workers with knowledge and experience of youth integration in a context of social exclusion, who are tasked with planning, developing, and evaluating the project's activities. The project relies on its volunteers, who are required to undertake an initial training in order to collaborate with and support the staff team.
