The process of cultural diversification in the EU became faster recently due to globalisation, evolution in ITC, refugee crisis. There has been also an increase of the immigrant population as a whole, including first and second generation immigrants. In January 2017, 21.6 million people residing in a EU member state were citizens of a non-member country, and 16.9 million living in one EU member state with the citizenship of another member state. All of this strongly influenced the cultural borders of every nation, making it more necessary to be able to understand and communicate with people from different backgrounds. But the first step in understanding and being open to the others is to understand ourselves. In a modern and multicultural society, defining our own identity, understanding which culture we are part of, and identifying ourselves with a common set of values becomes a complicated process of self discovery. However, understanding what identity is and what forms our own identity is a fundamental part of personal development and of awareness of ourselves and the others. Therefore, an understanding of identity is crucial for intercultural learning, to break stereotypes and in order to have a better intercultural communication. The aim of the current project “All about You” is to enable young people to discover more about their identity, in order to know themselves better and, as a consequence, be more aware of people from other cultural backgrounds and be better at communicating with them. The discovery of one’s identity will play the role of a tool for intercultural dialogue. Through a youth exchange that will involve organisations from 6 different countries (Un Giorno in Più from Italy, KEY from Cyprus, Kreator Kumanovo from FYROM, La Vibria from Spain, Logos Polska from Poland and En Root from France) 30 youngsters will meet for a week and reflect together on these topics, learning from each other. Through an effective preparation phase, a youth exchange and several dissemination activities we aim at reaching the following objectives: - Provide youngsters with a higher awareness of themselves and their identity; - Help the participants to discover the elements that build their identity and be able to explain them to the others; - Gain practical knowledge on the influence of culture, society and family on someone’s self identification; - Develop participants’ ability to identify, reflect and deal with cultural differences; - Develop participants’ video making and interviewing skills; - Increase participants curiosity towards different cultures; - Increase participants’ acceptance of different backgrounds and abilities; - Promote participants’ confidence and self esteem; - Promote European citizenship and European awareness; - Create a safe space where participants can evaluate their experience individually and in the group. This project has two target groups, the one of the youngsters coming from villages, rural or isolated areas that have a strong connection to their traditional culture and the one of the youngsters with a multicultural background. The participants will come from both of the target groups, once back home they will act as multipliers of this positive change in their community. Gender balance, inclusion and diversity will be ensured during all the phases of the project. During the exchange the participants will develop two outputs: a handbook that will collect interviews done on the topic of identity and intercultural communication and an infographic about the topics of the project. The outputs will be shared in the countries participating in the project and at international level, through online campaigns, articles and presentations in the local communities. At the end of the exchange, participants will be able to identify the most important elements that constitute identity (personal identity, family identity and social identity), concepts like multiple identities, cultural identity, acceptance and diversity, the iceberg theory of culture. Participants will also develop interpersonal and practical skills, positive attitudes and knowledge at different levels. For many of them it will be the first time to participate in international activities, they will become more tolerant, open minded and will have an increased understanding of cultures and diversity. After the experience they will feel more Europeans than before and will discover more about non-formal education. The project aims at reaching 10.000 youngsters, at least 300 youth workers and 200 organisations all over Europe. In the long term, the project will contribute to the development of youth work at the European and international level, thanks to the higher experiences that the partner organisations will have. It will also contribute to a better knowledge of the opportunities offered by the Erasmus+ program.
