Objectives

Due to the fact that throughout the world, both in Europe and beyond migration has strongly increased, some of it caused by international conflicts, political confrontations, violations of human rights, financial crises, and many more. high cases of migration, therefore, have caused growing intolerance of different cultures, religions, and beliefs that are growing in society. more and more migrants have faced discrimination, intolerance, and difficulty in their already difficult and challenging migrant lives. because of this reason with our project we aimed to enhance awareness, tolerance, and multicultural understanding in youth workers towards the topics of migrants and migration. by sharing some important knowledge as well as personal experiences our project hopes to make one step forward into creating more tolerant, accepting and inclusive society. we need tolerant and inclusive societies, to promote common European values, foster social integration, enhance intercultural understanding and a sense of belonging to a community and preventing violent radicalization. Our Erasmus+ training course It`s Time to Understand is an effective instrument to promote the inclusion of people with different backgrounds in our project more specifically our project objectives were the following: 1) Understanding existing problems and their causes, exploring existing lines of tensions/conflicts in Europe. 2) Teaching youth workers and youth activists useful tools and methodologies in order to reduce discriminatory and stereotypical thinking. 3) To have a space for participants to share the best practices of their local societies. 4) To involve young leaders from minority groups from various European and neighboring countries. 5) Increasing young people's (partner organizations' beneficiaries) sense of initiative and supporting them in bringing the change that suits their real needs. 6) developing and distributing educational materials (tool kit) that will help different stakeholders understand what youth activism is and how to support it, especially in the context of young people at risk 7) Strengthening partnership cooperation among European Union and Eastern Partnership countries and empowering EECA NGOs.
