As the European Union’s motto is “United in Diversity” since 2000, young European citizens are struggling to fully expand their knowledge, develop competences in understanding, life skills, leadership, teamwork, planning and decision making, communication, initiative and responsibility when faced with hate and adversity in an emotional and socially aggressive context. In order for young people to be ambassadors of social change in their own everyday life, among their family, friends, peers, coworkers, classmates and state authorities they feel the need to gain tools and competences towards transforming hate in the name of peace and unity stemming from the basic need of security. Young people pointed out the need to be challenged, placed into decision-making situations, be intensely impacted and willing to participate in truly experiential non-formal education methods in search of answers and practically applicable competences to their lives. Out of the need to understand and connect with others, young people recognize the importance of self-reflection and understanding in order to prepare themselves to face a hateful behavior and understand where it comes from and what are the solutions moving away from violence and unresolved conflict perpetuating emotional and physical distance between people instead of solidarity and unity. In a digital world where hate is faceless and the impact of hurtful comments is not seen by the people posting them, it is easy to hide behind technology and perpetuate hate no matter if the action is in defense or offense. The cycle of hate and the realization that “hurt people, hurt people” can only be broken if the people involved recognize their responsibility for their own actions and their impact. In order to arrive at a point where every young person accesses their power for change and challenge values and ideas imposed on them by society they need to be equipped with adequate skills, attitudes and knowledge to transform hate and stop the cycle of hate. After several meetings with young people regarding their interests in participating in specific topics and analyzing their needs, Youth Flair managed to collect enough information on young people’s issues and needs where the majority of people involved stressed their interest in gaining skills and developing the following objectives: - Build Self Confidence - Develop self-awareness skills/ How to check in with one’s self/ Reflection - Gain Active Listening and Non-Violent communication competences - Promote Intercultural understanding - Identify and recognize hate speech and discriminatory language - Managing and coping skills for dealing with hateful behavior in the moment - Better understanding of personal responsibility and impact of one’s actions and use of language
