The main aim of this project was to raise young people's awareness of cultural diversity and equip them with the basic cross-cultural and critical thinking competences (knowledge, skills and attitudes) needed to understand and respect cultural and religious diversity, as well as be successful in the globally-connected job marketplace of the future. The objectives of this project were: 1. By being involved in the project, 35 youth should raise their awareness on the importance of cultural competency. By the end of the project they should feel more confident and comfortable interacting with people from a different religious, socio-economic, cultural and ethnic backgrounds. They should also accept and respect these differences more. 2. By being involved in the project, 35 youth should increase their knowledge about cultural diversity and critical thinking. They should learn about Culture, Identity, Stereotypes, Prejudice, Discrimination, Inclusion, Intercultural Empathy, Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community Impact. 3. By being involved in the project, 35 youth should develop their critical thinking skills about different cultures. This should be for the purpose of both creating more inclusive societies in Europe, as well as preparing youth for the globalized and international job market. 4. By being actively involved in this project and it’s experiential learning methods, 35 youth should increase their intercultural communication and competences working in an international and multicultural team. We found the topic of this project pertinent considering the political and cultural scope of Europe at the current moment. The number of Muslim migrants arriving in Europe surged after 2014 to almost half a million annually, largely due to people fleeing conflicts in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. And as immigration and Muslim immigration to Europe increases, we can unfortunately expect more hate crimes and discrimination. A report by the European Fundamental Rights Agency (based on a survey of 10,527 people who identified themselves as Muslims) revealed that 76% of Muslim respondents feel strongly attached to the country they live in, while 31% of those seeking work have been discriminated against in the last five years. Furthermore, a 2017 survey by Chatham House Royal Institute of International Affairs of 10,000 people from 10 different European countries has revealed high public opposition to Muslim immigration. In Germany, Italy, and Spain, over 50 percent of the people surveyed agreed with the statement that "all further migration from mainly Muslim countries should be stopped". We agreed upon these objectives because we recognized European youth with fewer opportunities are not exposed to diverse cultures in their reality. Without access to diverse cultural exposure, they don't have regular experiences with different cultures and countries particularly in the Middle East. Young people have been raised in a consumerist culture with a focus on individualism versus on understanding others. The parents of youth with fewer opportunities don't always have the means to expose youth to new cultures or think more critical. Young people are not always empowered to think critically about diversity, neither from school, parents, or their typical environments. The partners of this project wanted to carry out this activity due to the fact that youth, youth workers, and organization representatives have all recognized the lack of critical thinking skills in youth as a serious problem in our communities. Based on their and needs of the sending organizations, we created a project that promotes critical thinking, cultural competency, and active role and responsibilities of youth in creating a healthier social environment. In this project, youth actively participated and learned about topics concerning critical thinking (decision making, perspective taking, analyzing, problem posing, etc.) as well as intercultural understanding and cultural awareness. After the project, the participants have been able to use gained knowledge and skills in order to take a leading role in their communities and initiating their own community projects and workshops in each partner country.
