Civic education is an important yet sometimes overlooked vehicle for integrating migrants into the labor market, especially unaccompanied minors who are transitioning into adulthood.

The proposed action is designed to promote the treatment of unaccompanied minors as rights-holders, in accordance with their best interests as children.
