Discrimination is a process related to all negative attitudes and behaviors that are prejudiced against members of a group or group. Prejudice, and therefore discrimination, also leads to negative attitudes toward the group or group of members they develop, as well as to negative attitudes that range from dislike, contempt, avoidance and hate. But today we know that there are "people" in the world; different, black and white, male and female, sexual orientations, races, religions and so on. The person/student who was exposed to discrimination or social exclusion, finally unfortunately may tend towards terror. The provision of equality between different people, the concept of justice begin with education. Education, to play a role in the development of social norms and inclusion, the main objective is the improvement of the human equality perspective. Our project's aims; The participants'll -overcome the perception of discrimination and will learn and know their rights about only being a 'human'. -have no worry to attempt and work together in their area of interest without discrimination of race, gender and religion etc. in the future.Thus,they'll be together in harmony in their family and business life. -live in the era of the participants'll be provided with ICT -used to adapt to them for the digital era. -witness the good examples about equality among European countries. -improve new skills. -be able to experience and increase skills in foreign language -create a more effective collaboration and exchange activities. Thus, the perception of lifelong learning can be created not only for the participants but also for parents and -The students who have negative attitude against school and lessons because of social exclusion can encourage to continue their education life. Thus, both social and economic benefits that can be provided will contribute in creating economic growth and sustainable development. -The schools'll cope with the need of internationalization in order to be able to deal with 21st century demands, the need to educate qualified European citizens by improving all their basic skills. We’r 5 partners, the UK, France, Turkey, Portugal and Norway so as to support the students who can't take advantage of the education because of any types of discrimination such as refugees, from different races/origin, religions and different genders including LGBT in order to integrate them to both the education life and social life. Because, we,with all partners, have found out that the students who are tend to leave school early or who have negattive attitudes against the school have different cultures, races, religions, ethnic origin or sexual orientation at our schools. We have 3 transnational meetings to plan, organize and evaluate the Project activities and 4 LTT meetings to tackle with the sense of discrimination. The number of participants totaly is 96 in mobilities and the activities types are blended mobility of school learners. Each school’ll built both an Erasmus+ students and teachers teams.The Erasmus+ students teams should involve the students who was exposed to discrimination or social exclusion because of their differences, feels hate, has no tolarence towards differences, bullied, has low self esteem, has negative attitude against school and lessons or refugees and they can be determined by both the school the guidance counselors/school psychologists and the school teachers. All the activities are created for 10-18 aged students and teachers of schools. The participants will be able to learn more about both their rights using enjoyable and easy ICT tools such as Web 2.0. to improve and adopt the digital society. Thanks to the project, ıt is important for all the participants not only to create an awareness about equality but also to combat failure in education and social life. A positive relationship or closeness that can be experienced by a different ethnic groups approaching with prejudice may provide a positive perception of the group to which the other belongs, by strengthening the perception of similarity between one's own and the 'other'.The participants will be able to; -learn to be and live together. -raise awareness about equality and have a better understanding of global education and cultural exchange. -overcome all forms of discrimination both in perception and in the family in the future and will be together in harmony in their business life. -adapt to the digital era. -improve new skills. -make a beginning to contribute in creating economic growth and sustainable development. -provide to be more educated as future generations . -experience many foreign language. and for the parents, the perception of lifelong learning can be created and they will be able to make an awareness for equality on society, language, education and work lives. The project name is “More Powerful Together” to ensure the unity for more powerful society and economic.
This project has brought together 1000s of young people from across four nations to learn about the impact of prejudice and discrimination and how to challenge it. From open and frank conversations about life as an LGBTQ+ young person in the UK to the pain faced by young people living with body dysmorphia in Norway we have faced up to big issues head on. It was clear from our first planning meeting in Turkey that we had a lot of diversity in the group of staff that would go on to learn alot from and about each other. We were called More Powerful Together because it might be easier to work alone but far more is achieved when working together. As one wise young person told me in Norway "little streams are nice but when they come together to make a river they can change a landscape". Our first transnational meeting in the UK saw student from three non english speaking nations speak in english to 1400 young people about the challenges their nation faced around the issue of prejudice and discrimination. It was a powerful moment as a 13 year old Kurdish refugees spoke quietly yet clearly about her dreams of a united world were all got on with each other. In France the visit to the slave quarantine museum followed by the sugar cane plantation gave a living history to the impact of slavery on present day prejudice. Being apart of such a multicultural community helped bring the hope and the truth that we can be More Powerfull Together. To then speak on behalf of Erasmus to hundreds of young people at European Commision Conference in Reunion was a great honor. Context and background of the project: Discrimination is a process related to all negative attitudes and behaviors that are prejudiced against individuals or members of a group. Prejudice, can lead to negative attitudes that range from dislike, contempt, avoidance and hate. These need to be challenged and education is the best place, out side of the home, to start. That is why we choose the name "More Powerful Together". Today we know that there are "people" in the world; different, black and white, male and female, sexual orientations, races, religions and abilities. The person/student who was exposed to discrimination or social exclusion, unfortunately may tend towards low self esteem, mental health issues and social isolation. The partners in this project want to highlight equality between different people, the concept of justice and the power of education to change understanding. In Turkey the school works supporting and teaching Syrian refugee and Kurdish students. They have first hand knowledge of what if feels like to discriminated against as a refugee. In the UK a lot of work has been done in challenging homophobic abuse to the LGBTQ+ community. Again schools play a key role in informing and inspiring young people to have greater understanding of the history and challenges this community has experienced. In Norway body image and self esteem are seen as one of the greatest challenges faced by young people today. Social media, cyber bullying and negative peer pressure have see a rise in mental health issues including self harm. The slave history and cultural mix of the French Reunion Island teaches us the part that many colonial powers had to play in using people from a different race to make money for counties 1000s of miles away. As part of present day France they have a ongoing challenge to speak out against the rise of the Far Right agenda across mainland Europe and beyond. As a result of this project the students and staff have... - a greater understanding of discrimination and prejudice and know their rights about being a 'human'. - the confidence to work together in their area of interest without discrimination of race, gender, age, sexualty, religion disability. - developed their ICT skills enabling them to adapt and raise awareness and campaign in the digital era. - witnessed first hand good examples of equality and diversity among European countries. - been able to experience and increase skills in foreign language - learnt how to effectively collaborate across nations and exchange ideas and learning. This had been passed on to parents, families and the wider community via events, exhibitions and presentations. - be able to support other students who have a negative attitude against school and lessons because of social exclusion. This has encouraged them to continue their education life. -learnt the skills to be global citizens in an ever shrinking world.
