The programme will seek to reflect and achieve the objectives outlined above, while considering also:
• The need to give visibility to discrimination issues and how they affect young people today;
• Concrete and diverse examples of youth work practice in addressing discrimination and dealing with challenges posed to diversity on a regular basis;
• The possibility to take advantage of the cultural and religious patrimony of Europe;
• The need to address general matters, while deepening specific issues and concerns.
The programme will, therefore, rely heavily on the experiences of the participants, to be shared and discussed in thematic working groups. Plenary sessions will serve to communicate results and feed-back from the groups, as well as to present guest speakers’ reflections and proposals, especially on culture and on religion. The programme should be creative – an experience in diversity of cultures and religions! The Preparatory Group is committed to make the all the possible necessary arrangements participants may need for their religious practice during the seminar in as far as possible.
