It Takes A Community (#ITAC) is an international multi-stakeholder campaign showcasing the positive impact that migration can have on communities, thus contributing to international efforts to promote social cohesion and managed migration, combat xenophobia and discrimination of migrants.

#ITAC is supported by many partners including:

MYCP

MIGRATION YOUTH AND CHILDREN PLATFORM

The Migration Youth and Children Platform a self-organized space for children and youth (up to 31 years old) to contribute to and engage in certain intergovernmental and allied policy processes at the United Nations and realize our collective right to meaningful youth engagement as enshrined in the Declaration of the Rights of the Child and other UN compacts. Our work so far with our key allies – IOM and UNICEF – has shown the potential of young people’s participation in decision-making. Since 2018 we have taken the lead on consulting with youth stakeholders around the world and engaged them in the key areas where migration issues are discussed – the Global Compact on Migration (GCM) and the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD). We hold an official Steering Group mandate for the facilitation of youth engagement at the GFMD. The MYCP is also the migration constituency of the Major Group for Children and Youth, mandated by the United Nations General Assembly in 1992.
