People all over the world live very different lives and lifestyles. People have different belief systems (religious, traditional, sometimes political beliefs) and they tend to live according to what they think is right and wrong. Culture is learned behaviour, traditions, beliefs and ways of life created by a group of people. Our world is constantly changing and is full of different people who have developed many different cultures. People often follow the rules of their own countries; make statements about other nationalities; create stereotypes and prejudices. It is important that we learn to live with and respect the cultures and origins of others. Prejudices are not genetically built in; they are learned behaviour. History has shown what people are capable of if we do not break down prejudices and intolerance prevails in societies. In addition to outright injustice and violence, discrimination and marginalisation are common. Forms of intolerance. The youth exchange aimed to counteract the influences that lead to fear and exclusion of others, and to help young people to develop skills for independent judgement, critical thinking and ethical reasoning. The participants, coming from very different backgrounds and cultures, were a treasure that enriched our project. The participating countries, with their diverse ethnic and religious populations, cultures and traditions, were good examples of how to reduce prejudice and promote tolerance by strengthening civil society. The partner organisations brought together for the youth exchange represent different parts of the world. They represent countries with different backgrounds, histories and traditions. Participants have come to know and appreciate the differences between us and no longer see them as a threat, but as something positive to learn from. They also realised that differences often lie in the expression - and not in the inspiration or the reason - for things. They have realised the aspect of their identity that makes them different from each other, but there are other aspects that bring them closer together. They may come from different cultures, with different backgrounds and experiences, but that is an advantage, not a disadvantage - diversity is their advantage. On the other hand, promoting tolerance means developing partnerships and networks and working together to achieve common goals and values. To actively counter such developments, the project also provided a platform for participants to meet new friends and create a network. The Youth for Tolerance (Y4T) project aimed to promote tolerance, pluralism and respect and to exchange "best practices" and experiences of multicultural societies and to foster cross-border cooperation. The youth exchange offered participants the opportunity to learn about inter-ethnic coexistence in different countries, to make valuable contacts, to exchange useful examples and to replicate them at home. The Youth Exchange brought together participants from Georgia, Slovenia and Italy to discuss the difficulties they face in their countries in combating intolerance, as well as to develop methods to address these situations. The countries selected from different regions give us the opportunity to feel the power of diversity.
