The migration sub-commission of the Spanish Episcopal Conference endorsed a call from Bishops of the Canary Islands to “create a culture of encounter” and protect young migrants. They called for public authorities to establish reception arrangements that foster the integration of migrant minors.
What is the Spanish Episcopal Conference advocating for?
- Creating a culture of encounter

The endorsement comes from the Bishops of the Canary Islands to ensure the well-being of migrant children and youth. This initiative seeks to address the challenges faced by these vulnerable groups in society.
Why is the integration of migrant children and youth important?
- Promotes social cohesion
- Ensures the rights of young migrants are upheld
