Youth exchange “The Melting Pot” is a 7-day activity gathering together 35 participants from 7 countries in Vilnius, Lithuania. The mixed group of youth representing the participating organizations will gather together to celebrate diversity and contribute to make a difference and to take a step toward more equal, inclusive, multicultural and diverse society. There are more than 740 million people in Europe, each one an individual with a different background and life experiences. Cross-border population flows, such as migration, lead to even increased diversity within societies. People can share many different characteristics like culture, religion, ethnicity, language, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, disability, geographic location and lots of other things. Diversity in its simplest meaning is about variety, or having a range of different entities. How should people co-existence of a difference in behavior,traditions and customs? How can we make people live together as One? An acceptance of difference and recognition of mutual respect is crucial. According to Eurostat only in 2017 2.4 million immigrants entered the EU from non-EU countries. The number of people residing in an EU with citizenship of a non-member country in 2018 was 22.3 million. These huge numbers lead to rising tensions in the EU because people are not prepared for this phenomenon. In most cases, the cultural diversity is pointed as a being at the origin of all the problems: frustrations, intolerance, identitarian or communitarian closure, racism. The worrying increase of hate crimes, mistrust attitudes, racist behavior, rejection of others highlight the need to change our behavior. Generation of young people grew up in the middle of diversity and they can play an active role to promote diversity and fight racism and discrimination. This project is designed to explore the topic of diversity and related issues people in Europe face today, so together we can embrace and celebrate each one of those differences and enhance intercultural dialogue. The main idea of the project is to promote cultural diversity and encourage young people to engage in initiatives promoting tolerance and respect towards other cultures. The main objectives of the project are to: -learn ways of understanding diversity and different cultures -achieve a deeper understanding of people facing discrimination and social exclusion because of their cultural, ethnic and religious differences -promote social acceptance of people with different backgrounds living in Europe -promote intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding between young people living in Europe who belong to different social and cultural backgrounds -encourage participants to actively participate in international projects and use the opportunities of Erasmus + program -increase efforts for inclusion and cultural diversity through the Erasmus + program -enhance the international dimension of the organizations involved in the project By reaching above mentioned objectives we believe that youth exchange “The Melting Pot”’ will contribute to creating modern open society by promoting diversity, intercultural and inter-religious dialogue, common values of freedom, tolerance and respect of human rights. During the youth exchange participants will have an opportunity to learn in a different, innovative way and take a part in interactive lectures, working groups, discussions, simulations and role-plays, outdoor activities involving local community, reflections, etc. The working methods applied in the project reflect the needs of an internationally composed group of participants, and those requirements linked to NFE.
