Background of the project
In recent decades Europe has become more and more diverse. Migration from South to North, from East to West, increase of Diaspora in many countries in Europe, are all making today’s Europe culturally the most diverse continent. This cultural diversification also led to various social problems: intolerance, discrimination, exclusion, human rights violation, conflicts, etc. Fortunately, Intercultural dialogue and education is a major tool to create intercultural (not only multicultural) and cohesive societies without which it will be difficult to safeguard the freedom and well-being of everyone living on our continent. And this is precisely where this training course is coming from. The main goal of the project is to increase capacities of youth workers to promote and facilitate intercultural education as trainers and facilitators.
More specific objectives are:
• To increase the level of knowledge of youth workers in ICL topics (culture, identity, prejudices, stereotypes, discrimination, communication, etc);
• To develop competences of trainers in non-formal education focused on designing and facilitating Intercultural learning and to put them in practice with young people in Belgrade;
• To empower youth workers to act as multipliers of Intercultural learning;
• To develop practical skills in intercultural education and “awareness making” in their own communities;
• To encourage participation and involvement of young workers in social processes;
• To develop sense of common responsibility for the future of their local communities from a global perspective;
• To introduce Youth in Action as a great provider of intercultural educational opportunities for young people.
