Background and theme of the training course
With the gradual multiculturalism of Europe and current migrant crisis, youth workers and organizations across Europe face everyday challenge of understanding and supporting young people coming from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The added challenge rises up when youth workers face the invisible minority within these groups – Young People of diverse sexual and gender identities. Therefore, organizations now have to operate in context where sexual/gender identity and ethnic/cultural affiliation are sometimes in conflict, and they need to develop appropriate skills that will allow them to effectively support this group of Young people. As a response to these challenges, we believe youth workers should discover, develop and promote best youth work practices and by creating international network of organizations working on this issue.
Overall aim
The overall aim is to improve capacities and empower youth workers to work effectively and respectfully at the intersection of sexual/gender identity and culture/ethnical diversity. Furthermore this TC aims to develop the skills necessary to engage with individuals different from themselves with an open mind by accepting diversity and encouraging young people in their capacity to do the same.
Objectives
• To raise (self) awareness and understanding of sexual/gender identity & cultural/ethnic diversity;
• To recognize and challenge stereotypes that exist in European societies;
• To promote Intercultural learning;
• To support participants in cultivating capacities that are transferable to their own environment;
• To explore and develop soft skills and competences in combining both sexual/gender and cultural diversity perspectives;
• To create space for sharing good practices around sexual/gender identity and ethnic/cultural diversity;
• To support participants in identifying common challenges, opportunities and solutions in this area of work;
• To learn more about the Erasmus+ program and its actions, and provide space for creating new partnerships and new projects.
The approach and methodology
This training course will be based on non-formal and informal education with an inclusive and norm-critical approach.
