Objectives

The idea of this project was born from an analysis, within our two associations, on the respect or not of fundamental human rights in our countries, following the continuous influx of migrants that has brought with it not a little discontent among the people, often resulting in cases of real discrimination, or the hatred that is often manifested against the LGBT community and Roma. Even The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) has called on the authorities of the Czech Republic to ensure the cessation of all forms of segregation affecting Roma children in schools and the implementation of a national strategy aimed at identifying areas of discrimination against LGBTI people. ECRI welcomed the progress made in several areas, but identified a number of problems still to be resolved. Racist and anti-LGBTI hate speech remains a cause for concern, especially public expressions of hatred against Muslims and Roma at high political levels by the Czech Republic Ombudsman Stanislav Křeček. Similar situation in Italy where the ex former interior minister Matteo Salvini has been accused of inciting racial hatred in relation to the migrant issue that has hit Italy hard in recent years. In discussing this problem with the young people of our association, the speech inevitably also fell on "The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU" and "The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations", two documents on which the Union European Union has always been based since its inception. These values are truly known and respected in Europe and in the world? Hence the idea of this project which, in its own small way, wanted to inform and train young people, the future of our Europe, to promote knowledge of fundamental human rights and therefore a civil coexistence between different peoples and cultures. Considering our Europe's melting pot of cultures, having an open and collaborative attitude will allow us to always live in peace and security. The training took place through a series of activities (brainstorming, workshops, round tables, informal talks) carried out with a non-formal working methodology, participatory and intuitive methodology that guaranteed an excellent impact to young people, understood as knowledge and skills that they acquired/improved; knowledge and skills that also concerned external to the project thanks to an accurate dissemination strategy of the results that we implemented. And not only. We also ensured the achievement of some objectives of KA1 and of the general objectives of Erasmus +: promoting common European values, encouraging social integration and intercultural understanding, active citizenship of young people and knowledge of languages. More specifically: - improve intercultural knowledge thanks to the activities planned in the agenda but also to the simpler informal moments; - thanks to a non-formal working methodology, reflect on the groundlessness of stereotypes and prejudices and promote knowledge of fundamental human rights also to third parties thanks to a series of tools for disseminating the results that we used; - improvement of the knowledge of written and spoken English; - greater skills, for the facilitatrs, in managing activities with a non-formal methodology; - promote the acquisition of soft skills such as cooperation, flexibility of thought, problem solving, but also greater self-confidence thanks to the freedom of young people to always express their thoughts, obviously respecting others. All this was possible thanks to the participatory and intuitive approach of the project, thanks to the continuous moments of collaboration and discussion between young people.
