Which values can trigger engagement? Which tasks of democratic citizenship do we believe in? How can trainers active in youth work implement participation? This project provides answers to those questions. It provides strategies for debates with right-wing populists such as AfD in Germany; strategies for re-establishing a sense of diversity and European dimension as needed in Poland; strategies of reconciliation in intergenerational dialogue as required in Lithuania; strategies for finding compromises after the “troubles” and in times of Brexit as Northern Ireland is subject to. It opens participants’ minds to democratic values; it teaches empathy and coherence through participation; it shares successful concepts on handling diversity. It provides the tools to re-assure what democracy means in Europe; to understand the potential of diversity; to create active citizens with inclusive identities. It picks up the fears of right-wing populists; it opens the minds of people with migration history; it creates a space for an inclusive society and designs the projects to make all of this come true. It understands all of this as a concept of democratic youth work. The objectives are - preventing exclusion and radicalization: We strengthen youth workers’ belief in democratic values; thereby, we develop strategies on how to address people on the populist side. Our goal is to provide concepts for them to acknowledge diversity and multi-perspective approaches. - promotion of European values in times of populism and Brexit: The EU is based on values such as freedom of movement and religion, of solidarity, of equal opportunities. In this project, participants and their institutions will develop concepts and concrete steps to make those values come alive by fighting one-sidedness, discrimination and xenophobia. - supporting young people in developing transversal skills and democratic competencies: We provide concepts for youth workers how to make young people fit for democracy. - reaching out to marginalized young people: We train people to address marginalized groups who are prone to self-ethnicizing and radicalization.
