Details:
The overall aim is to increase the diversity of participants in local or international non-formal education, e.g. youth mobility programs. To achieve this, this Long Term Training Course (LTTC) aims to sensitize social/youth workers for different forms of discrimination and enable them to facilitate communication in a less discriminative way. Furthermore, to better understand how and why young people with fewer opportunities feel that international youth work is not for them. During the training attitudes will be developed in order to reduce the reluctance of the youngsters. In order to achieve the overall aim, the LTTC’s objectives are the following:
• Sensitizing youth workers through the Social Justice Training method on existing prejudices, anti-discrimination and their own ‘blind spots’ and how these were reproduced and strengthen by fears of being different or matching the unknown. Reflecting on discrimination and privileges that they have experienced personally helps to identify fields of activities for their own further non-discrimination acting;
• Analysing those factors (prejudices, discrimination, barriers on individual, cultural and institutional levels) that prevent participation of less-privileged youth in local or international projects;
• Supporting the participants in raising their capabilities to become aware of own privileges and resources. Further, exploring how to use them to overcome obstacles and resistancesin order to support young people back home;
• Supporting participants to ensure the feasibility and development of projects/actions with the involvement of less-privileged young people;
• Supporting participants in their learning process by providing a space to exchange experiences and good practices or possible problems.
The LTTC will consist of one initial residential training course, one residential advanced training courseand a practical field phasebetween the two. During the field phase participants are to explore the potential of social justice issues and international projects – stimulate and support them to realize with the support of the trainers team.
Within this LTTC…
…there will be an introductory phase that ensures a protected yet dynamic workspace and introduces into the basics of the ideas and methods of Social Justice and Diversity. After that, two exemplary modules will be provided. The first module is about “sexism and heterosexism” and provides an easy access to daily life experiences of the participants as well as a suitable approach to an understanding of the Social Justice method. The second module is about “classism”. The expression is rather new in European context, yet already very powerful to understand social exclusion. The module “classism” offers an exposition about discrimination and privileges based on social class background of individuals or social groups. Both modules will help to understand the approach of Intersectionality. They will raise awareness for understanding dynamics of discrimination and exclusion and will increase personal capabilities to counteract them in daily praxis of youth work. A mentionable part of the training focuses on usual resistances of the working environment against change and how one can get better “in shape” to cope with those obstacles. At the end of the first (initial) training course (first phase) there will be a careful assessment of how one can become an ally of change and fight discrimination in one’s own surrounding. Activities will be developed for every participant, which are as well feasible as they have good chances to provide meaningful outcome. During the field phase (second phase) phase there will be a coaching by the trainers to accompany participants during the implementation of activities/ projects against discrimination and assure the success of the actions. The second (advanced) training (third phase) will wrap up the experiences with implementing the idea of social justice, reflect on good and difficult practise and provide some guidelines for further work.
