Colonialink brings together 30 young people from Spain, France, Italy, Morocco, Algeria, and Libya for a 7-day exchange in Murcia, Spain (19–28 October 2026).
Through creative non-formal learning, participants explore the connection between Europe’s colonial past and today’s migration, building empathy, inclusion, and critical thinking.
The project uses history as a tool to promote tolerance and intercultural dialogue, empowering youth to become active ambassadors of an inclusive and aware Europe.
