Objectives

The deprivation of human rights, visible gender inequality, increasing discrimination, racism and the hate speech provoked by the strong migratory wave, the financial crisis and various social processes in Europe, provoke us to the theme of the project. Six active youth organizations from Spain, Croatia, Portugal, Lithuania, Rumania and Bulgaria have united around the idea of working in the area of increasing tolerance for differences. Through various informal methods of education, we would like to provoke participants to "get into the shoes" of various socially excluded groups, to try to break the stereotypes and exit the "black and white box" by looking at the world through the beauty of diversity. The main goal of the project "Together in Diversity" is to raise the awareness of 30 young people from Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Lithuania, Romania and Bulgaria to the problems of socially excluded groups in our society and to promote tolerance, acceptance of differences, intercultural dialogue and the fight against racism, xenophobia and discrimination. The objectives of the project are: - promoting active citizenship and participation, analysing how EU policy can foster shared planning youth oriented; - fostering interculturality as instrument of cooperation, inclusion and tearing down marginalisation; - spreading EU democratic values to strengthen gender equality, respect for human rights social justice and individual freedom. The cultural evenings when every partner will present their country's history, culture and traditions together with the common intercultural night will contribute to fostering the intercultural dialogue, mutual understanding and breaking any cultural stereotypes. The rich programme with well-selected diverse non-formal methods of education will contribute to reaching the project's objectives while the follow-up campaigns and trainings each partner will carry out once they go back home will contribute to multiply the effect of the project, to popularise the "Erasmus+" programme and to reach a bigger number of indirect beneficiaries.
