In the past year, in addition to the pandemic crisis the world was facing, another virus emerged - a much more dangerous virus of racial tension, prejudice, exclusion, and discrimination that had been alive for centuries and unfortunately still was. The Black Lives Matter movement, incidence of LGTBQI rights in Hungary, incidents in Poland, and many other incidents were clear indicators of that. CC4U also organized a lot of local actions in the underprivileged neighborhoods of The Hague, with the title "Diversity Talks," where a lot of youngsters live, who come from 1st to 3rd generation migrant families. During these talks, one of the things that was evident was that many youngsters with migrant backgrounds had questions about their roots, sense of belonging, identity, etc. As many of them come from countries that were colonized by different European countries, colonization was definitely one of the main contributors to shaping their identity and was brought up many times. It was also a catalyst for the dialogues about discrimination, inclusion, exclusion, migration, identity, and stereotypes that we are having now. It was evident during our last YE in Curacao that many east Europeans had never had an encounter with African-American culture. For the first time, they met someone whose background was from African heritage. We had many conversations with the NGO Caribbean Youth and Sport Foundation (CYSF), who are working extensively on topics of identity and other Erasmus plus projects in the Dutch Colony, St. Maarten; they acknowledged that there were many similarities between how the youth were experiencing this identity crisis and the need to feel included, yet having the feeling of not being fully accepted or understood by the societies they are living in. Our youngsters on both sides decided to organize a 9-day YE in St. Maarten. The reason why our youngsters wanted to organize this international Youth Exchange Project "Roots" was that they wanted to discover the impact of migration on their roots, culture, and identity and break down myths and stereotypes connected with one of the most significant challenges that Europe and the world are facing besides the pandemic. With this youth exchange project, we brought together youth from different European countries in St. Maarten and, by using non-formal methodology, study visits, and thematic workshops, created a comfortable space where they could share their experiences with each other. By combining different but closely connected subjects, we hoped to help the participants find inspiration and creativity for feeling more included, having better intercultural understanding, understanding more about their identity and culture, and migration, and give them the chance to share the final results of their work with other participants. We truly believed that there was much hidden in those creative young minds, whose opinion was still rather restrained in public opinion as a whole. This project was a way to boost youngsters' out-of-the-box thinking and stepping into an intercultural dialogue with people from other nationalities. More concretely, the objectives of this Youth Exchange were to raise awareness about migration and the impact it has on culture, identity, etc., to raise awareness of the importance of active youth participation, to challenge and practice creative thinking, to use creativity to express their opinions and thoughts, to foster peer-dialog about matters concerning youth regarding inclusion, migration, identity, exclusion, etc., and to develop processes on a local, national, and international level, to share knowledge, experiences, strategies, tools, and ideas to promote inclusion and tackle discrimination, to encourage critical and analytical skills, to acquire and transfer new methods of non-formal education, to raise cultural awareness, foster intercultural dialogue, and mutual understanding. We decided to organize the youth exchange in St. Maarten instead of the Netherlands because colonies like St. Maarten are doing a lot of work on inclusion, youth involvement, etc., that should be highlighted, and people often talk about the negative aspects of colonization while it has also brought a lot of positivity. So the Caribbean Youth and Sport Foundation (CYSF) suggested that we should organize the YE there, as participants would benefit from this knowledge too. The other reason is that we have many youngsters with roots from Surinam & Dutch Caribbean background, and they wanted the project to take place in the Dutch Caribbean as it would make them understand and relate more to the topic, as it would actually take place in a current colony. Two Dutch NGOs are involved in this project, but we have specific tasks division, with CC4U being the main applicant and coordinating the project, and CYSF taking care of the logistics.
