Project Summary

In whole Europe and countries involved in this project there are serious issues with intercultural dialogue and acceptance of diversity due to migrations towards the EU.
Education, training and youth work/policies have a key role to play in fostering social inclusion, mutual understanding and respect among young people and communities.

Project aims to:
• explore and promote intercultural acceptance of diversity and respect of Human Rights in Europe
• increase participants’ ability to deeply understand and empathise with socially excluded and marginalised groups in our communities
• analyse the implemented practices and to recommend how best to use the NFE and experiential learning for inclusion and acceptance of immigrants and asylum seekers in our youth work
• encourage creativity in developing new or adapting existing methods of NFE for inclusion and acceptance of diversity youth work
• provide interaction of our youth workers with asylum seekers and thus to get out youth workers motivated for more consistent engagement on youth work for inclusion and acceptance
• empower new generation of youth trainers in our organisations and raise their competences in all the needed knowledge and skills needed to act as trainers of NFE activities (communication and presentation skills, facilitation and debriefing skills, dealing with conflicts, challenging teamwork and barriers to learning skills, etc.)
• empower our youth workers’ competences for quality development of different non-formal education activities / programmes for inclusion and acceptance of diversity
• Increase awareness and knowledge about EU possibilities and Erasmus+ and developing new projects and future European level cooperation among partners for inclusion and acceptance and with target groups of immigrants and asylum seekers youngsters

There are several activities in the project:
– A1 – Preparation meetings.
– Preparation activities of organisers and partners
– A2 – TC “NFE – opportunity for inclusion and acceptance of immigrants and asylum seekers”; 21-29 October 2017; with 29 participants, trainers and staff from 9 organisations and countries (RS, IT, HR, MK, BA, CZ, SK, GR, XK).
– O1 – Curriculum of the A2
– A3 – TC “Training for trainers for inclusion and acceptance of diversity in our communities”; 18-27 November 2017, in Serbia; with 29 participants, trainers and staff from 9 countries (RS, IT, HR, MK, BA, CZ, SK, GR, XK).
– O2 – Curriculum of the A3
– O3 – Collection of participants’ workshops
– Local workshops with/for/about refugees, immigrants and asylum seekers
– Dissemination activities
– Evaluation meeting

Potential longer term benefits: Through increased quantity and quality of NFE projects of participants and partners, we expect the increased competences and readiness of young people in communities (indirect beneficiaries) for taking active stand on fighting discrimination and intolerance and promoting respect of diversity and intercultural acceptance.
