Discrimination is a worldwide social problem and a common ground for individuals without the recognition of social statuses. Generally, ethnicity, religion and opinions, age, disability, social sex identity and sexual preferences are the main kinds of discrimination types. The European Commission states that the increase of acceptance of differences in public sphere notwithstanding also underlines that there are still huge differences between countries in Europe ("Discrimination in the EU in 2012", Eurobarometer). Even though, multiplicity of discrimination types change according to countries, constituent and underlying elements of every type of discrimination are fed by same sources: prejudices and social power. According to the Anti-Bias approach, discrimination occurs when social power is used with prejudices against to the ‘other’. The most powerful tool to eliminate discrimination is to try to remove prejudices and to be aware of social power and power relations in the public sphere. One of the main aims of this training course is to build a base to raise this awareness. We want to take this Anti-Bias approach, which we want to use methodologically, as ‘youth work against discrimination’ for strengthening youth workers in national and international youth work, project managers, trainers and other multipliers and, for them to apply this method in their own working areas. For this method, first we want to start with a self-reflection process, in which participants will develop their understanding of prejudices, power relations and discrimination. Afterwards, we aim to pursue with a training process in which they will use their own experiences to create perspectives for their working fields. To ensure the transfer of anti-bias approach to working fields and to participants’ private life is one of the other aims in this process.
The objectives are:
• Enabling the actors who work in the field of youth work (participants) to gain methodological skills and knowledge about the anti-bias approach;
• Enabling participants to develop their own perspectives about discrimination, power relations and prejudices by experiencing;
• Enabling participants to work to fight against individual and institutional discrimination by integrating anti-bias approach into their working fields;
• Enabling participants to develop their own projects or/and support projects that are already applied by them;
• Enabling participants to reinforce the youngsters who work with them and make them raise awareness on discrimination by applying the anti-bias approach;
• Enabling participants to be informed about Youth Pass and Erasmus Plus and to use these tools in their working fields.
During the first training we will focus on Anti-bias approach and we will create project ideas by using anti-bias approach. After the first seminar the participants will implement anti-bias approach in their local projects. And then the second training will happen in Istanbul in October in order to have more deep knowledge about anti-bias and we will evaluate the whole process. Each partner organization will send 3 participants, making a total of 26 participants. Three professional trainers will guide the learning process. The methodology is based on non-formal education, with energizers, brainstorms, group work, discussions etc.
