Objectives

In France, like in many countries in Europe, we are facing an increasing of nationalism and extrem right political parties, racism and discriminations towards vulnerable population and minorities. We want to come from the experiences lived by the refugees in Palestine. With our colleagues from Palestine, we would like to raise the awareness on people on the refugee topic in general. We believe that there is a need to speak about the political, economic and social situation of the refugees now in our societies. Raising awareness towards the youth workers of our different countries, and exchanging on how refugees are perceived by associations and the population in general, and how youth workers want to change it. We also have the need to train our youth organisations to the hosting of a new public in our projects. Concordia for example made the choice to host refugees civic service volunteers in our different delegations. However, we first need to make sure that we are ready for that, and we will be able to support the youth as best as we can. The main objective of this project is to create understanding and awareness of the Youth workers and the populations in general on the Human Rights and Refugees topic, through training youth workers on the setting of activities on the Refugees situations (and gathering young people coming from very diverse backgrounds, in a Youth exchange in Palestine in March 2020, already accepted). Specific objectives for this Training Course are: - Developing youth worker’s knowledge, tools and competences in key concepts on Human Rights Education and working with refugees - Raising awareness of Youth workers on the need of implementing Human Rights Education, focussing of the refugees - Giving the space for youth workers to exchange on their working context, experiences and challenges on the topic - Reviewing the evaluation of Human Rights education in Europe, and the present challenges that it faces.
