Objectives

Euroacción and its partners have been working with youngsters for many years. All participating organisations agree that in recent years, there has been a turbulent situation due to the large migratory wave, the violation of human rights-including those of the LGBT community and the women, and a further marginalization of already marginalized social groups. “Dancing in Diversity” youth exchange has been created to show young people that it takes solidarity, tolerance, acceptance, inclusion, communication and empathy to transform their societies into wise societies. Through the combination of non-formal education activities, dance and body movement, participants will be encouraged and empowered to act against discrimination, racism, sexism, bullying and exclusion, and therefore become active citizens and bring social change. “Dancing in Diversity” main objectives are: -Integration and Social Inclusion: Dance and body movement form one of the main non-formal methods that are used in achieving integration and social inclusion. Nowadays, due to great youth unemployment, the refugee crisis and the rise of extreme right political parties and ideologies, the integration and social inclusion of young people, regardless of their origin, race, gender, religion, professional or any other status seems to be a crucial factor that can affect their well-being. -Intercultural Learning and Intercultural dialogue: In times of big immigration flows from countries of Middle East to Europe, the first step to coexistence is being aware of different cultures and the elements that form them. In our project, cultural awareness, will help participants to understand the special features of the processes happening in the sphere of dance and body movement in different countries and get ideas about cultures that interact and influence each-others in the daily life in order to get a deep cultural understanding and empathy. -Teamwork and Cooperation: One of the major factors in non-formal education is the self-awareness which, in its turn, is being used in teamwork and cooperation. Through effective teamwork and cooperation meaningful results can be produced at the end of the project and fulfill all the objectives of activities taking place within it. It will also help to improve cooperation between all the people and organizations involved in project realization and create internal network for implementation of the same type projects in the future. This objective has already been and will be carried from the very beginning of the project- from communication with partner organizations to the last evaluation of the project and event that will happen in the place where we will be staying. This objective is being realized from the very beginning of the project, as our partners and young people who will participate in the project have already been involved and they will be involved into all the phases of the project flow. - Use art to raise awareness and enhance solidarity actions among the members of our societies. Participants will prepare a dance/movement performance which will be shown to the local community at the public event that will be held on the last days of the youth exchange at a central point. -To transform participants into active citizens. Through non-formal education activities, dance and movement, participants will learn that it is a matter of will to become active citizens and that there are a lot of very creative ways to move towards this direction.
