Supporting Young Refugees in Transition to Adulthood
Rui Gomes
Council of Europe
Livre numérique
A practical guide to the Council of Europe Recommendation CM/Rec(2019)4 to
raise awareness and improve the knowledge and capacities of relevant
professionals in supporting young refugees and migrants in their transition to
adulthood. Being among the most vulnerable, many young refugees experience
violence, exploitation and trauma, as well as continued risk of violation of
their human rights and fundamental freedoms. When they reach the age of 18,
they are no longer under the protection of the United Nations Convention on
the Rights of the Child. This means that, from this point, young refugees may
no longer have the protection and access to rights and opportunities
previously held as children, and they can face an abrupt and dramatic change
in the possibility of accessing services and support across many sectors. The
rights of young refugees in transition to adulthood has been a priority of the
Council of Europe over many years. In 2019, the Committee of Ministers adopted
Recommendation CM/Rec(2019)4 on Supporting Young Refugees in Transition to
Adulthood, recommending that member states’ governments ensure that additional
temporary support is available to young refugees after the age of 18 to enable
them to access their rights. The Recommendation also acknowledges the
important role played by youth work and non-formal education / learning in
supporting the inclusion of young refugees, and in developing competences for
active citizenship and democratic participation. The Council of Europe
prepared this Guide to further promote and support the implementation of the
Recommendation. The Guide should inspire young refugees, youth workers,
policymakers, researchers and other relevant actors to familiarise themselves
with, apply and support the implementation of the Recommendation in their own
contexts and communities. The Guide simplififies the language of the
Recommendation in order to assist various actors and stakeholders in
developing a better and clearer understanding of the proposals and policy
measures. A range of promising practices are likewise incorporated to
exemplify how the Recommendation is being put into practice.
