Objectives

The project raised young people's awareness of the word and the meaning of minorities and vulnerable target groups, as they often misunderstand the word or phrase. Through the project, we broke down stereotypes that are created towards certain minorities or vulnerable target groups and raised awareness among the local community and young people to be more tolerant towards each other. The project continued the Culture Show network and raised international awareness of the topic, while at the same time we tried to encourage more organisations to launch a similar project under the same theme or name "Change your mind, Change the World!". The objectives of our project, which we achieved, were: to get to know the minorities or vulnerable target groups living in the area of the partner countries, to get to know the culture, customs and traditions of the partner countries, to get to know the diverse cultures through practical examples, to develop the personal competences of the young participants, to get to know the minorities living in Pomurje and Slovenia through practical examples, to get to know the border life and the cultures living in the same area, we got to know more about the Roma and LGBTQ community in Slovenia, we raised young people's awareness about the importance of diversity through social networks, we encouraged young Europeans to actively participate in similar projects, we spread tolerance among young people towards different minorities, we involved young people with fewer opportunities, we learned about human rights, we trained in teamwork, we networked our organisations and we strengthened our partnership for future projects.
