The "CMS" contact seminar was born out of the need to bring together NGOs involved in capacity building for educators and educators themselves from different backgrounds to meet together and consider how to strengthen our capacity in human rights education and intercultural learning to address current challenges and alarming trends across Europe. The objectives of the CMS were: - To share the realities in our countries and reflect on the potential of HRE and intercultural learning as a potential driving force in supporting democracy - To brainstorm on educators' competencies that need to be developed/enhanced in the current situation (e.g., political competencies, etc.) - To reflect on the importance of social diplomacy in the current social and political situation in different countries, identifying its potential, limitations and challenges - To develop joint initiatives for educators to strengthen our capacities in HRE and intercultural learning. - Develop joint strategies to deal with various human resource challenges in education. - To develop innovative mechanisms and new ideas; to prepare project ideas (youth exchanges, trainings, seminars, volunteer projects, etc.) - To strengthen cross-sector cooperation - To create new contacts and networks - To deepen knowledge of Erasmus + programs, other European and national funding opportunities and to find potential partners for applications.
