On Wednesday, December 3, 2025, Rome will host a new moment of dialogue and training for the city’s network of social practitioners. The workshop “Applying the Skills4YOUth tools to support the guidance of unaccompanied minors (MSNA) and young migrant and refugee people,” organized by UNICEF, will take place at MaTeMù, Via Vittorio Amedeo II 14.
The initiative is part of the actions of the UNICEF Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia in Italy (UNICEF ECARO) aimed at strengthening reception, inclusion, and skills development for unaccompanied foreign minors (MSNA) as well as migrants and refugees. The goal is to provide social practitioners with concrete tools to guide and support educational and professional pathways, turning challenges into opportunities for growth and integration.
Throughout the morning, participants will have the chance to engage in a plenary discussion on challenges and good practices in employment guidance and to explore UNICEF’s Skills4YOUth model and tools.
A practical session will follow, featuring examples of guidance materials and activities, group workshops, and a final debrief.
