We are living in a time in Europe where prejudice, stereotypes, xenophobic viewpoints, and discrimination are rampant, particularly against marginalized groups such as refugees, migrants, Roma, people with disabilities, and persons identifying as LGBTQI (to name a few).
To tackle these discriminatory practices, we have seen many projects that raise young people's awareness of cultural diversity and equip them with cross-cultural and critical thinking competences needed to understand and respect cultural and religious diversity. We recognize the need to continue empowering societies to be more inclusive, but also must provide emotional and mental health tools for those that have experienced or are still experiencing discrimination and believe it has affected their sense of self and future potential.
There are far fewer projects that support youth workers to develop the competences to empower, encourage and support the emotional needs, resiliency, self-worth, and mental health of these discriminated youth in order to propel their potential futures forward.
This is precisely what we want to see more of - initiatives to develop youth's resilience and self-worth in the face of discrimination from society.
The aim of this project is to equip youth workers working with marginalised youth groups with the competences to empower, encourage and support the emotional needs, resiliency, self-worth, and mental health of discriminated youth.
IMPORTANT: To be selected participants must be able and willing to participate in the full training course and dissemination activities upon their return back home.
Please submit your application until September 20, 2022
Selection results: up to September 21, 2022
