Objectives

By implementing the project, we hoped to develop self-awareness, in combination with the promotion of the need of the awareness of HR, and to overcome the factors which deteriorate our self-understanding. Moreover, our aim was to find ways to discover our strengths and to be as innovative as possible. Furthermore, we aimed to use our strengths and powers to overcome social problems like discrimination and social exclusion resulting from unawareness and infringement of our HR. Through the enhancement of ourselves we also aimed to eliminate inequalities and violation of HR, to improve our relationships and to promote innovative ideas for the overall well being. In our effort to promote the above, this project involved special activities which gave the opportunity to the participants to collaborate and share innovative ideas on how to better learn themselves, how to become better and how self-improvement can contribute to interact more efficiently with other people and ideas. Moreover, the participants had the opportunity to express their innovative opinions on how awareness of HR and compliance with them can contribute to better self-understanding and elimination of discrimination. Finally, the participants were able to share ideas on how to live in a more innovative world. These ideas can later turn into realistic action plans that can be implemented by creating other projects or by organizing other relevant seminars in other countries. Such activities developed the participants’ self-improvement skills, the need to be innovative, to be aware of HR and fight discrimination. During the training, democratic communication also promoted through the sensitive issue of the need of awareness of HR and through the discussion about discrimination issues, group work and role-playing activities. The interaction, communication and cooperation between participants raised awareness of the levels of discrimination in different countries and discussions on how to prevent it. Finally, it promoted that through each one's self-improvement, people can develop freely and without-pressure ideas, which can lead to an innovative world. To sum up, “IN&OUT” emphasized on self-knowledge, self-improvement, innovation and HR. According to Billie Jean King, self-awareness is the most important thing towards being a champion. Through this project, we focused on the need to know ourselves, to discover and “block” the factors that hamper our self-awareness, such as the encroachment of HR, and to be more innovative. Visualising the person we want to be, will help us figure out what we need to do to get there. One “key” to “unlock” our goals is to think differently. Novelty it reduced discrimination and raised self-development and cooperation between youth in EU, by promoting relevant activities during this training and by training the participants that will train and educate young people in their countries, hoping that this project contributed even at a tiny level, in the participants’ further exertions. Anything worthwhile requires time and effort, results worth it.
