Objectives

Queer Faces, Migrant Voices: Nuremberg is a youth exchange for young, queer migrants and refugees (18-30 years old) from The Netherlands and Germany. The participants will be trained in radiomaking, storytelling and photography techniques through informal learning. We'll use several methods to disseminate the stories, such as pod casts, radio programs and an online social media platform: Queer Faces, Migrant Voices. In order to achieve our aim the youth exchange will focus on the following objectives: • Sharing personal stories on cultural and sexual diversity; • Cultural and social inclusion in relation to migrants and refugees is according to their experiences; • Working together in an intercultural environment where young people with different backgrounds will meet; • Providing up to date information about sexual diversity in relation to their new home countries (The Netherlands and Germany) • Equipping participants with skills, in self expression and to make interviews and radio presentations; • Creating a friendly and safe space for the youth participants to come up with a workshop in order to start expressing themselves on sensitive topics such as sexual diversity; • Learning youth what is the impact of Erasmusplus projects and YouthPass Certification; • Encouraging participants to create a workshop about themselves, their surroundings and how they see their future; We believe that the project will be life changing for the youth exchange participants and that it would change their opinions and minds about sexual diversity. It will be empowering for them to be surrounded with other migrants and refugees who have such different backgrounds but also the same future: a new life in The Netherlands and/or Germany.
