The project consists of one activity, the Training course “Youth Work for Equality and Unity” that will take place between 16th to 24th of November 2019 in the province of Caserta in Italy, with the participation of 9 partner organisations from Italy, Croatia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Republic of North Macedonia, Sweden, Turkey and UK.
As Europe is experiencing one of the most significant influxes of migrants and refugees in its history, the inability to deal with the situation is urging NGOs to increase their level of competences to face such issues. Many NGOs that work with youngsters and want to deal with themes like human rights and migration don’t actually have the expertise, in terms of knowledge and human resources, to do so.
This project is therefore designed for youth workers , young leaders, volunteers or simply humanitarian individuals who have special interest in human rights and social inclusion, and/or are involved with migrants or refugees in their Countries, and have intention to use their competences to be more involved in their communities, fighting discrimination and radicalization.
Specific objectives of the project are:
– Work on common and shared definitions, learn the proper terminology and the relevant documents and institutions in the field of human rights and migration
– Analyze the different perspectives on HR and migration, taking into account the hosting Countries and the specific conditions of each context
– To tackle exclusion, discrimination, xenophobia and radicalization, promoting diversity and fostering social inclusion, mostly of vulnerable groups
– Give youth workers the chance to experience different NFE approaches, methods and tools in order to encourage active youth participation in their local contexts in respect of human rights and integration of migrants/refugees
-Expand participants’ and partner NGOs’ contacts and networks and foster exchange of good practices
Through non-formal education methodologies we aim to provide participants with the right tools to strengthen their learning process, creating an experiential and inclusive environment that will be completely focused on their needs. Everyone will be encouraged to share experiences and take initiatives and challenges, with the support of trainers and organizing team
