We are a group of volunteer guardians for unaccompanied foreign minors representing various provinces of Emilia Romagna.
The group was formed spontaneously with the aim of sharing experiences, problems, expectations and projects in order to contribute to the improvement of the reception, protection and integration system of young migrants.
In 2021 we conducted a survey on the state of the art of voluntary protection in our region in order to highlight the positive aspects, the critical issues and formulate proposals for improvement.
The data that emerged were brought to the attention of the Guarantor for Children and Adolescents with whom a fruitful collaboration and networking was started with the representatives of the services responsible for receiving unaccompanied minors in Emilia-Romagna.
We meet online on a monthly basis: all guardians registered in the regional list of Guardians are invited to participate in the meetings.
The group is also open to participation, support and contributions from those who wish to share our goals and objectives.
