The initial project idea appeared during the session on future collaboration and networking during the TC of KA1 project “Another Peace” supported by Luxembourgish NA of Erasmus+ programme (09-18/07/2018). At that time, participants from Portugal, Poland and Lithuania discussed some of the challenges they face in the educational work they do in relation to societal changes of nowadays. We realized that in our local communities not many educators have the knowledge of HRE, therefore the concepts of HR, which are so essential nowadays, are not systematically involved in the daily work of educators and, moreover, there’s a clear need to build new partnerships in order to address this issue more efficiently. After the project, we created an outline of the contact making seminar, where we identified the main needs and objectives of the concept and spread it among partners network and as well as shared in the open call through Otlas platform (in order to attract as many and as diverse motivated partners as possible). The idea attracted attracted a lot of interested partners. We had to select only those whose needs are relevant to the project objectives and for whom it’ll be beneficial both in local, national and international levels. Looking at educational perspective, it’s obvious that, in the current situation, some of the major priorities should be building tolerance and respect for human rights as well as intercultural learning both among young people and educators. Educators, to our mind, play one of the key roles in this process, acting as mentors, teachers, role-models and “peace-builders” in this shaky period. Therefore, we’d like to propose a contact making seminar, which will bring NGOs working on capacity building for educators and educators themselves coming from different backgrounds in order to meet together and reflect & review how to strengthen our capacities in human rights education and intercultural learning in order to address current challenges of nowadays. Objectives of the CMS: - To share realities in our home states and reflect on the opportunities of HRE and intercultural learning as potential driving force in advocating democracy - To explore the meaning of social diplomacy in current social and political situations in different countries, to identify its potential, limits, challenges and current state. - To brainstorm the competences of educators which need to be developed/ enhanced in nowadays situation (e.g. political competence etc.) - To develop joint initiatives for educators aiming at strengthening our capacities in HRE and intercultural learning - To develop joint strategies on dealing with different challenges of HR in educational field - To create new contacts and networking - To develop innovative mechanisms and to develop new ideas; to draft project ideas (Youth exchanges, trainings, seminars, voluntary projects etc.) - To deepen knowledge on Erasmus + program, other European and national funding opportunities and to find potential partners for application
