VOICES EU Day_Italy_2.jpeg

A new round of Europe Day events brought stories, dialogue, and intercultural exchange to classrooms in Greece, Italy, and Belgium.​

​

June 2026: What happens when migration is discussed not through statistics and headlines, but through personal stories and real-life experiences?

 

This Europe Day, students across Greece, Italy, and Belgium had the opportunity to find out. Through a new series of dissemination events, VOICES From Migrations returned to schools and educational institutions, inviting young people to engage with migration, inclusion, and active citizenship in a meaningful and interactive way.

 

Building on the success of previous editions, the initiative once again placed students at the centre of conversation....

VOICES From Migrations’ last event just made an impactful landing in Rosarno, Italy, where the celebration welcomed more than 270 participants from 17 countries.​


From 21 - 24 May, the anticipated Multicultural Festival and International Conference struck a chord with both young international students and the citizens of Rosarno, shining a spotlight on intercultural dialogue, migration, and social inclusion.


Over the course of two impactful days, the city transformed into a vibrant multicultural hub where changemakers from across Europe and beyond came together to exchange ideas, celebrate diversity, and experience renowned Italian hospitality. In doing so, the EU project closed with one final meaningful chapter: Bridging Past and Present for a Cohesive and Integrated Society...

"VOICES From Migrations" is a project co-funded by the European Union exploring untold migration stories. Apostolis Kyritsis moved from Albania to Greece in 1990. This is his story​

​

“I was born in 1987 in Berat, Albania, during a time of intense social and political transition. My name can be written in two ways: Apostolis Qirici in Latin characters, reflecting my Albanian nationality, and Apostolis Kyritsis in Greek, due to my mother’s Greek heritage. This dual spelling reflects my dual identity.

 

I came to Greece at the age of three, and my childhood was shaped almost entirely there. My memories of Albania are few and distant. Until I was eight or ten, I had not returned to my country of birth. Later I began visiting more often, but Greece had already become my main point of reference..."

Testimonials 

“From the time I arrived, I started learning, meeting new people and making memories. This is my first EU event and the experience is really European. When we started working together I got to see different perspectives on different things. I have a long way ahead. This event helped me to be more socially active, express myself and made me a team player.”

EGD Szeged Participant 

"The Rome Hackathon was my first ever. I was not sure what to expect but I hoped I would be able to come up with interesting solutions for the challenge, learn new things in the process, and get to meet new people. It's been 3 days since I got back and I still can't believe how great it was. It exceeded my hopes in all ways possible."

EGD Rome Participant 

“Excellent organization, treatment and conduct of the event. Useful skills for critical issues of our times, and an opportunity for reflections and finding solutions with the help of young people from all over the world."
