Our project was aimed at developing and improving the intercultural competences of youth workers, youth leaders in order to become able to prepare, run and evaluate high quality youth work activities according to the principles of intercultural education. We live in multicultural, cross-cultural and intercultural societies. Our local communities are not homogeneous anymore thanks to the free European mobility, the open borders and markets for European citizens, and hosting refugees and migrants from other parts of the world. As youth workers, we have to deal with - different culturality young people whose behavioural norms, values and schemes could be different than the local ones; - local young people who just came home from other countries, socialised in other societies, maybe parents represent different cultures; - young people with refugees background from an absolutely different culture, even still traumatised by their previous life experiences; - 2nd generations of refugees kids who don’t belong to the culture of their parents, however don’t find their place in the culture of majority. Themes of our project were: Make the following definitions clear: culture, multicultural, intercultural, intercultural education. How to handle the phenomenon of intercultural connections and strategies: intercultural differences, stereotypes, prejudice, discrimination. How to support the development of intercultural competences of young people we work with based on their needs. How to communicate properly based on the different communication codes and understand the behavioural norms, schemes and forms of young people from different cultural backgrounds. How to prevent stereotypes becoming prejudice and discrimination and bullying young people with different cultural background e.g. being 2nd generations migrant or refugees. How to avoid cultural challenges within intercultural teamwork and how to use its’ values for successful cooperation locally and European level. Make solid partnership in order to realise youth exchanges according to the proposals of Erasmus+ programme. The overall aim of the Training Course was to train youth workers, youth leaders to be able to work with different culturality young people, e.g. refugees, migrants, foreign kids or young people coming home from other countries and build up a successful intercultural team locally and European level.
