The project aimed the following: -Enriching competencies: Improve the skills and knowledge of the organization's human resources in the NFE methodology, enabling them to effectively develop and implement civic education paths. -Develop civic education paths: Create targeted civic education paths for a regional urban audience, promoting civic engagement, active citizenship, and democratic values. The aim was to address far-right populism, discrimination, and intolerance. -Enhance staff competencies on migrants' inclusion:Strengthen the competencies of staff members in addressing the inclusion of individuals with migrant backgrounds. This involved understanding the challenges faced by migrants and examining social radicalization from different perspectives. The goal was to foster inclusive environments and address the specific needs of disadvantaged adults and young adults with migrant backgrounds, including those exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. -Create a resilient network among NGOs:The network aims to facilitate transnational cooperation, information sharing, and the development of joint project proposals.This would enhance the organization's capacity to design and implement European projects and achieve a broader impact.
The context of our project aligns with the objectives and concerns of LLD. LLD is dedicated to promoting active citizenship and raising awareness about migrants' issues in Germany and potentially at the European level. Currently, the organization's activities primarily target young people. However, LLD aims to expand its involvement by organizing regular local/national activities, training sessions, awareness-raising initiatives, events, and international projects that cater to the needs of an adult audience. In this context, LLD's project aims to address these challenges by focusing on non-formal education methodologies, specifically civic education. The partnership with MVNGO in Italy provides LLD with access to high-end knowledge and methodologies in adult education, which can be utilized to develop and implement initiatives that promote inclusion, tolerance, and active citizenship. By enhancing competencies and skills in this area, LLD seeks to contribute to creating a more inclusive and tolerant society, countering the negative sentiments and discrimination faced by migrants and minorities in Germany and across Europe.
