Objectives

According the Europol’s 2019 Report; In 2018, terrorism continued to represent a major security threat in EU Member States. Horrific attacks killed thirteen people and injured many more. A stark increased in the number of arrests linked to right- wing extremism, although still relatively low, indicated that extremists of diverging orientation increasingly consider violence as a justified means of confrontation. Compared to 2017, the number of attacks and victims in the EU dropped significantly. However, the number of disrupted jihadist terrorist plots increased substantially. In this situation our project seeked to raise the awareness to the EU program and partner countries regarding the crisis, solidarity, tolerance, peace and racism situation. In addition to the aggravation of the increasing terror and wars in recent years, we were seeing increasing racism with prejudices in Europe and in many parts of the world.We wanted to show that the differences are actually riches by taking the cultural and ethnic richness of our city as a model in order to break down the perception of living with people from different religions, beliefs and cultures is hard and dangerous. As a result of this project, we aimed to increase tolerance of differences at national and international level and to end racism and prejudice. We aimed to ensure that young people take a more active role in solving problems and become more active individuals throughout their lives and raise active individuals.We also aimed to be a stepping stone for young people to realize their ideals, projects and dreams. The main objectives of the project were; 1. Gathering young people from different community,religion and ethnic through of this youth exchange, informal learning from each other 2. Sharing the best practices in tackling cultural difference, integration and inclusion in youth work and intolerance; 3. Involving people with fewer opportunities to take part in non formal methods of learning which gave them a chance to discover new cultures, habits and life-styles, mainly through peer-learning; 4. Strengthening values like solidarity, democracy, friendship, etc between different nations; 5. Learning more about the ways how different concepts of citizenship impact upon youngster's life across Europe through various alternative methods as Art, music and dancing; 6. Maintaining and improving the physical condition, as well as, the quality of movement to perform daily activities; 7. Encouraging Youth Exchange and cooperation between young people from different countries; 8.A bridge of tolerance, peace and cooperation built between Europe and the Middle East with the participation of countries bordering the Middle East. We wanted to carry out this project because intolerance is a focal point in every country' s life that increases crime rate, racism, Nazism, hate and so on and so forth. Tolerance is in the base of communication, solidarity and democracy among people in the world.
