DEPART aims to contribute to the concrete inclusion of migrants and refugees in Member States through the establishment of a structured and formalized way to consult migrants on policies that directly concern them

DEPART develops knowledge about the existing normative and social obstacles for the mobilization and representation of migrants and refugees and for their effective participation in policy-making processes.

DEPART is based on the creation of Self Advocacy teams (SATs); a flexible, rooted and participated solution to give migrants and refugees empowerment and representativeness functional to their integration in EU societies.
