By implementing this project, we wanted to awaken and empower the sense of acceptance, inclusiveness, open-mindedness, and solidarity in young people towards different nationalities, religions, and socio-economic groups. Driven by the difficulty of modern societies to accept diversity (in all its forms), even though they consist of people from different ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds our wish was to equip and empower youngsters with the necessary skills and competences and engage and motivate them for supporting and standing up for all those “minority” groups who have no voice, are marginalized, and excluded from society and its processes and become social-changers. Through raising awareness about this issue not only we made young people empathetic enough to be actively involved in their local communities, make a change and have an impact, raise their voices when it comes to their rights, and support and stand up for others when they see injustice or violation of human rights, but we also contributed to the encouragement of society (and its citizens) to improve its role in helping people to feel a sense of belonging and identity when settling into a new place and community. Our goal was through this project and its activity to contribute and corresponded to one of the set priorities of Erasmus+ Programme and European Commission for young people, which is “Inclusion and Diversity” and the provision of equal opportunities for the educational, professional, and personal development of youth through non-formal and informal education. This was achieved by 1) including young people primarily from ethnic minorities, descendants of immigrants, and youngsters with social/ educational/ economic, and geographical obstacles, 2) promoting the learning mobility of individuals and groups, as well as cooperation, quality, inclusion and equality, excellence, creativity and innovation at the level of organizations and policies in the field of education and training, 3) promoting non-formal and informal learning mobility and the active participation of youth, as well as cooperation, quality, inclusion, creativity, and innovation. We created a safe learning environment for the participants, where they could express themselves without fear, share ideas and points of view, learn from each other, and all together discover the best ways to combat exclusion. To achieve all the above, we used interactive methods and approaches, based on non-formal education tools such as teamwork, brainstorming, role plays, debates, simulations, and of course reflection and evaluation. In this way, participants learnt to respect cultural diversity and foster mutual understanding between people from different countries driving European Integration, be open-minded, be tolerant and accept diversity, behave in conflict situations, and especially in multi-ethnic/ multicultural communities. They became more resilient to life’s difficulties and strong and empathetic enough to be actively involved in their local communities, make a change and have an impact, raise their voices when it comes to their rights, and support and stand up for others when they see injustice or violation of human rights. The objectives of the project were: • To foster a greater and inclusive sense of belonging and identity. • To promote a sense of tolerance among young people. • To enhance the importance of diverse values like the importance of maintaining pluralism, non-discrimination, tolerance, justice, solidarity, and equality. • To empower young people to find their own way in life. • To effectively communicate and cooperate in order to reach common goals in an international environment and develop common values. Through an international atmosphere, we addressed and discussed different aspects of international voluntary projects and activities and their required preparation. We also raised awareness of other issues that can arise or can be directly related to leading an international and local youth project. Our focus was directly linked to cooperation among organizations and the importance of leadership. Moreover, we provided a reliable and safe space for participants from both EU and non-EU countries to develop themselves and gain new skills. The inclusion of this combination of countries allowed us to have a broad share of experiences among us but also a broader audience for the dissemination of project results.
