This national conference will examine the challenges and opportunities surrounding the integration and participation of young migrants and young people with a migrant background in an increasingly diverse Europe. It will explore the role of education, sport, culture and the digital environment in fostering social inclusion, while addressing barriers such as racism and discrimination.  

On 10 September 2026, the Diversity Committee of the Social and Economic Council of Flanders (SERV) published an advice calling for an integrated approach to strengthen the labour market participation of first-generation women from non-EU countries. The advice identifies their comparatively vulnerable position on the Flemish labour market and calls for policies addressing barriers across different policy areas, while taking account of differences within this group.
