After some years, also because of the outbreak of the Syrian war, with the help of other international associations, the YMCA Parthenope ONLUS' intervention reached different routes and destinations of migration between Morocco and Spain; Portugal and their African and South-American ex-colonies; Turkey/the Balkanic routes and the middle-East countries; Berlin as the core final destination of all the European migration routes.
In 2020 the partnership Exodus became a reality and the website www.exodusplatform.eu is now collecting the work done in all these countries by the partner associations who are strengthening their staff and activities by relying on digital and traditional tools such as:
- creating on-line content;
- involving many volunteers,
- educators and job researchers for migrants, refugees and unaccompanied minors;
- participating in small and big social events as festivals, seminars and gatherings where to promote peace and welcome through songs, dance, theatre, speeches and information.
Most of the work done is summarised and spread by the on-line campaigns on instagram

Anybody is welcome to like and follow the socials and contribute to the support of this inclusion work to build a solidary and open community where welfare and well-being can be equally spread and available to everybody.
This year with the outbreak of the Ukrainian war, too, new efforts to gather relevant actions to face the crisis were made and new associations from Romania, Latvia and Macedonia were summoned with their teenage members to give their contribution and prepare inclusive measures.
The summer project "Youth Power" was lunched and next year the Exodus partnership is expected to be widened by inviting and involving the YMCA Europe network.
We all hope our joint efforts will improve many people's lifes and will lay the foundations of a better intercultural and inclusive society. Let's stay together, let's change for the better!
