Objectives

Together with our partners, we wanted to show a project to fight against racism and xenophobia in the EU, which lead to violence among young people, and to examine how to strengthen the role of the different actors. "Media and critical thinking against racism and xenophobia" was introduced as a dual mobility project, a training seminar followed by a youth exchange. During the selection results, the national agency only approved the second part of the project and that was the youth exchange. We carried out a youth exchange, from November 11 to 20, 2021 (travel day included), this mobility was carried out at the Nabeul youth complex, in partnership with the Tunisian Ministry of Youth and Sports and brought together 50 young people from 8 different countries namely (France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Latvia, Tunisia, Morocco, and Lebanon). This youth exchange was designed and dedicated to young people from (France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Latvia, Tunisia, Morocco, and Lebanon), interested in the prevention of radicalization, in an artistic approach, offering them the opportunity to exchange ideas and points of view, to work together and to express themselves through non-formal education and art. For 8 days, participants will face different challenges, meet new people with different backgrounds while sharing skills and developing new skills, but above all discovering another reality through their stay in Tunisia. At the end of this learning journey, these newly acquired skills will form a building block to create possibilities and explore new chances when they return home. This activity aims to: - Raising awareness about radicalization and creating a space for learning through non-formal education, a space for open sharing, mixed cultures and different backgrounds for young people through media and creative tools. - The use of media education and non-formal education and the sharing of good practices as a tool for preventing and combating radicalization. - Create an international platform for organizations to share their experiences and the use of the media as a tool in the fight and prevention against radicalisation. - Better understand the opportunities of the Erasmus + program and non-formal education to promote the European values ​​of tolerance, understanding and respect for human rights.
